Slowly vanishing paws

Gentle, smiling jaws

The day feels good enough

Perhaps I should bark.

I'll offer to take tea with the mad

Surely when she has crossed

The Eighth Square

She's been had.

Put me in a little deal-box

But my grin will never fade

I hope you've sampled the sandwiches

Blotting-paper pudding piping-hot

Introduce yourself to the mutton

Then dream a dream of a thousand pounds

But are we things of the Red King's dream?

Watching you sail away waving scented rushes

Her majesty's flag

Tumbling down from the wall

Look- the prize- a golden crown!

Take good advice: put your lips to mine

Drink Me

Shoes and ships and sealing-wax

Whether pigs could fly

Some plum-cake, ham sandwiches, and hay

Did you steal the pepper-tarts?

Twinkle, twinkle little bat

Come fly down the brick wall

Oh, Tiger Lily, sing Golden Afternoon

Not fun anymore, majesty?

The two-step with the Griffin

Lions and Unicorns, did they fight?

The Queen locked them up

You only dreamed us, after all.
