Terry In Wonderland

The table was set for two, Alice band and I,
still the same, never grown up, even time may fly;
I told her my life, she said: 'You're lucky with a wife,
the Mad hatter, Doormouse and the Queen give me strife.

We had strawberries with cream and pink champagne,
looked at me whimsically and challenged me to a game,
'If you answer 'no,' you lose one point, five to leave,
you will achieve, if for once, you choose to believe.'

I made the score, free to go, when I didn't answer 'no,'
we had marzipan and lemon meringue, go with the flow,
cognac liqueurs, chocolate eclairs and creamy pears,
I heard the click of a cleft palate, must be March Hares.

She said: 'Next time, please try harder to say 'no,'
then you can stay here with me and help me grow,'
