Backwards Alice.

Elica now was so confused!

Elica found that words being backwards,

Confused her brain cells as turning them forwards all seemed to impossible!

Still they made no sense, at all, for only jumbled sounds 

flowing out and fading away to be replaced 

by another sound ringing in her brain, all back-to- front, and inside out, all round about .

So she pretended to understand and nodded when she thought it was due.

So you see now that our Elica had been awhile in this strange court room

She looked around to make some sense, of the Jury and the wigged crowned King

The Queen Red a swallowing her words as if chocking on bard wire or knitting pins.

The Rabbit White was spitting tea out into a cup that had a chip so big as a hand,

Therefore so Elica saw  it only could hold half a cup and never be it whole or full

Regardless how she looked.Yes, she did try and look at it in a upside down way just to see if it made sense.

Our Elica was getting bored at just being in this court room

So now her eyes looked on the rabbit white, who began to complain

"Tea to finish only I  drink before I begin,"  Said the grumbling Rabbit White

Now running backwards out of the room with only socks upon his feet.

A waving a letter above his head and still mumbling about wanting only to have his tea.

"Why did he spit it out then if he was so thirsty?" said our Elica to herself all confused and frowning. 

So you see our poor Elica couldn't really make head nor tail of anything,

Expect she began to understand how hungry she felt, so her stomach now

rumbled in a backwards way, and she thought all backwards like

how nice those "treacle tarts" may taste and found that she had 

to fight against herself in a way, as she swallowed whisperings 

" Consumed not can the evidence of Tarts within this court room!"

So inviting those lovely tart now did seem to Elica in the strange court room.

All panelled of wood, and so terrible noisy as the Queen so Red began 

a swallowing  all her yelling "Head his with OFF!"

Or so the words seemed to be heard within our Elica's brain.

"Can't she say anything else except repeat the sentence before a court?"

No I suppose this strange world is just like this, and nothing but dreams I must admit.

Just as the door slammed shut on the Rabbit White 

Elica now found her stomach complaining even more than before

As the scent of tarts freshly baked did float from her nose to waft 

and fly in swelling tasty swirls invitingly, beautiful sweetness of things

That now could not be seen, until the door opened again 

to a walking backwards Knave with a tray piled high with tarts of hearts.
