Wonderland . . . or Alice's Rabbit

by Francine Farina

Tick Tock . . . Tick Tock

Down the rabbit hole

I go

Falling in darkness 

Then landing with 

a thud

I open bleary eyes 

and see him

He wears a vest

and is all white 

He is looking 

at a watch,

twitching his whiskers 

and keeps repeating 

"I'm late, I'm late, oh

dear I shall be late!"
