A Gift from my friend for my Birthday… the Craig and I… enjoy!
A Tale
He was a little sad, the mercury he used to keep his hat up right made him a little mad
He always came for tea and had a story for The Cheshire Cat
It was hard to keep Alice in check
Her dreams were too big for a girl
Too big for this world
Where happy lived with sad
And bad was just down the road from mad
A fool always played the room
Where thoughts escaped from good intention
And the sun sought the gloom
And goodness lost its cool
What more can be said
When a Queen says off with her head
Enough to wake any one up from a dream
But hope swirled under the Mad Hatter’s hat
Mad Hatter and Poet
Photo by his daughter
And blue could take over a room
And poke a heart down the wrong road of a tall tale
There’s no shade for the waking
A requiem for a Mad Hatter
In a world where mercury
Holds a hat up so high
Sometimes even lilies can’t pretend
That happy can stay around
