Alice The sun is shining But I should be Alice Sliding down the rabbit hole, Let me linger in the warren Where the world cannot accost me Cannot toss me Like a ping-pong ball in play I should be Alice Taking lessons from the cat To keep a smile upon my face While the flood is never ending But I'm tired of pretending Life has a rosy hue. The sun is shining But I wish I could be Alice And escape april 2009 Janet Reid
