alice doesn't bake

alice reads wm. blake

alice lies awake

alice has a bellyache

alice made a mistake

alice stepped on a rattlesnake

alice ordered steak

alice sat down to partake

alice felt an earthquake

alice felt her whole world shake

alice drank from the lake

alice drank for her thirst to slake

alice thought her heart would break

alice said her love she must forsake

alice thoughts became opaque

alice saw a turquoise feathered drake

alice tied that rakish drake to a stake

alice said your little neck i'm going to break

alice from this silly dream did wake

alice said i don't know what of this to make
