Come to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party
The table is set out under the trees
Come and sit down - there's plenty of room
Share your repast with the birds and the bees.
The Mad Hatter's wearing a trio of hats
The Dormouse is asleep - the March Hare is late
The Hatter is talking in riddles
Alice did not know - what of it to make!
A writing desk - why like a raven is it? ? ?
The Hatter consulted his large pocket clock
Gosh it's two days slow - where does the time go?
He dipped it in tea - a real clock-starting shock.
Dormouse started a story to tell
Of sisters called Lacie and Elsie and Tillie
Who lived down inside a large treacle well
Learning to draw thing beginning with 'M' - rather silly.
It was always 'tea-time' so they all moved around
Hare to Mouse to Alice to Hatter to New
Hatter and Hare pushed Mouse in the teapot
So nose in the air - haughty Alice withdrew! ! !
