Dedication Page

There once was a girlWhose name was LilaShe dreamt a strange taleAn adventure untoldLet your tired head restAnd the story unfold

Passed sprang a white rabbitAs fast as a rocketDressed in a waistcoat With a watch in his pocket

How peculiar, she thoughtAnd called out ‘please wait!”But ‘oh dear,’ it replied‘I shall be too late’

With ‘Drink me’ and ‘Eat me’The madness beganDeep down the rabbit holeAnd through Wonderland

First, shrunk poor LilaTo a size of a mouseThen taller she grewAs tall as a house

Oh, how confusingHow bonkers, how grandAnd so were the creaturesOf Wonderland

The caterpillarLittle, fluffy and blue He sat on a mushroomAnd asked ‘Whooo are youuu?’

She said ‘I knew who I wasWhen I got out of bed...But growing and shrinkingCan mess with your head’ To this, fluffy creature,Advice he had noneThen, next moment POOF!Caterpillar was gone

CURNDIOUSERA

CURIOUSER

With no tail and no bodyOn a tree branch there satA big furry grinOf an old Cheshire cat

MOWE

A cat with no body?It sure won’t stray farIt let out a ‘MEOW’ That sounded bizarre

She asked ‘Where to next?’It replied with a stare‘You should visit Mad HatterAnd the crazy March Hare’

‘Come along! Time for tea!’The Mad Hatter called outWaving a teapotWith a strangely long spout

They skipped round the tableAll singing a songIf you know it, LilaWon’t you sing along?

“Twinkle, twinkle little batHow I wonder what you’re atUp above the world you flyLike a teapot in the sky”

What a wonderful partyBut on we must ventureTo the Red Queen’s gardenOn one last adventure

This one was more frightfulFor the Queen often saidTo those who have crossed her‘Off with their head!’

She invited Lila To a game of croquet To which she replied‘I would much love to play’

But before they beganThe white rabbit hopped by‘Oh my ears and whiskers,We must say goodbye’ Farewell WonderlandWhat a beautiful dreamUp the rabbit hole, LilaAnd towards the gleam
