Down the rabbit hole to a garden

Doors in her way too small to enter

Shrunk in size after drinking a potion

Cried flooding the hallway with tears

Swam with Mouse but it was offended

Alice enquired about her Cat was the offense

Animals and birds swept by in the flood

But raced in circles to dry up on the banks

White Rabbit looking for Duchess’ things

Mistook Alice for a maid and ordered indoors

Alice grew and crowd outside threw pebbles in

became cakes when taken made her smaller

Was with the Hatter at Mad Tea Party

Stormed off when bombarded with riddles

The Queen of Hearts difficult to please

‘Off with his Head’ she often quibbled

Called as witness in proceedings in a daze

Swarmed all over her were the pack of cards

Alice’s sister then dusted leaves from her face

That was the instance when Alice woke up

Not nearly a similar story line to that of the original

But near enough in some parts not entirely a ramble
