carrolling (after oxford) a swift white rabbit came rushing by with watch and waistcoat grand but mindful that the fleeting time was not at his command said he : 'my fur and whiskers are writ in allegory' and then, with myth and metaphor went on to tell this story ... 'twas filled with creatures, great and small with tweedles dee and dum and caterpillars wondering what from our dreams may come but who could fancy cheshire cats that set their grins aside? how curious this reverie where such nonsense resides! out on a golden afternoon while punting on the Thames you must be mad if you'd ignore these literary gems and after tea, if you should take a quiet, dreamy stroll mind your steps lest you tumble down the rabbit hole the chessboards lodge a heartless queen who paints the roses red and for a slight infraction bellows out : 'off with their head!' she fiercely issues strange decrees with stern and haughty face 'takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place' and yet such lovely gardens grow behind each veiled door find passage 'cross those thresholds in desire to explore where bottled drink can make you shrink and cake can make you tall there's room for the imagining of anything at all if hares and queens and hatters mad have got you all aghast it's just adventures in wonderland through which you briefly passed where every fairy tale is found yet none is false or true but shining through the looking glass is all that lives in you rjh 6apr2026 ~ style inspired by recipient, "Masterpiece" https://suno.com/song/dc80c1bb-92c1-4592-b3c1-4fb609a39db9
