next time, pinch yourself
don't go to sleep
when your sister tells
a boring story
that's my advice
too late
don't drink the soup,
the tea, don't eat the tarts
they left them out too long, anyway
don't go anywhere
near the Queen
don't run errands for
the rabbit whether he's
wearing gloves or not
don't wind his watch
don't tell them what
you learned in school
and if you catch them painting roses
get the next train out
even if it's the circus express
