Curiouser

Disappear with a wink

and a grin,
blue and grey and
smokey thin.

A purr so loud
a smile so wide
hovering there and
through the air you glide.

Rest on a branch to
see if I'll come
flicking your tail as if
this is all in fun.

"Curiouser and curiouser,"
I mutter after a while
"We're all mad here."
you add with a smile.

We go to tea with
a hare and a hatter.
I couldn't enjoy myself more
as another teacup shatters.

Jabberwocky, talking flowers,
the madman with a hat...
none above can compare
to my friend--the Cheshire cat.
