ALICE AT THE DINNER PARTY

 

ALICE AT THE DINNER PARTY

Alice at the dinner party

In her navy frock

Wore a collar of Battenburg lace

And watched the evening clock

Waited for the twilight stars

Like trains out of the din

And sped away with firefly jars

And opened them and then

Rehearsed the scenes from earlier

Earlier in the day

And had the same glad feeling

When she was home to stay.
