This is my tale you see,
The one all about me.
I never used to be insane,
I was actually quite plain.

Too many times my heart was broken,
I never was very outspoken.
I used to sit inside my mind,
"True love," I thought “I’ll never find.”

So I went for a walk,
To myself I did talk.
As I walked around,
I saw something on the ground.

It was a hat you see,
I placed it on my head; It fit perfectly.
So I continued my jaunt,
My hat people did taunt.

So I went up a hill,
Under a shade tree I did chill.
There I saw a hole,
To big to be dug by a mole.

So I climbed inside,
I began to slide.
When I landed I asked where did I stand,
A voice said, “This is Wonderland.”

I did not know who,
A cat appeared out of the blue.
I started to scream,
But he said, “I’m on your team.”

After I calmed down,
He asked, “Why do you frown?”
“Its my life you see,”
I said, “All my loved ones flee.”

The cat and I did walk,
And still we did talk.
We came upon a palace,
Its look was one of malice.

The gates were barred,
The floor was tarred.
But still we crossed the threshold,
Then by a card I was told,

“This is the home of the Queen of Hearts,
Turn away if you have the smarts.”
Still I made haste to the throne,
Wishing to pick a bone.

She sat in her red robe,
Me her eyes did probe.
They picked right through my brain,
This is what drove me insane.

I forgot who I was,
I woke up looking at the cats jaws.
His smile was no more,
He asked, “Who is your amour?”

Love I had forgot,
With torment my mind was wrought.
I closed my eyes and tried to think,
But I couldn’t find the link.

To love I was blinded,
No longer my heart I minded.
This is how I found I was mad,
But I couldn’t help be glad.

My heart no longer pained,
But I was now featherbrained.
My thoughts did race,
And disappeared without a trace.

That is when I found March Hare,
He and I were quite the pair.
Between us we had half a mind,
Neither one true love could find.

He had also seen the Queen,
Who wiped his mind clean.
We sat to drink tea,
He missed the cup with glee.

Years passed by,
I learned magic quite sly.
I saw White Rabbit walking,
To him I started talking.

He mentioned a girl in Wonderland,
Little did I know it all was planned.
Right from this new start,
I felt feeling back in my heart.

Later that day my eyes got a treat,
I saw Alice; oh so sweet.
My heart skipped a beat,
That was some feat.

Never before had I felt like this,
My madness had turned to bliss.
