The Dodo's Conundrum

Walls breath and candels sing.
The Cheshire Cat says I feel crazy,
Walking through this fantasy.
Dormice, tap dance
On skeleton kettledrums
As the carousel room
Grows shrinking trees
From the holeproof roof.
And the dodo's conundrum is solved,
As long-legged leapers
Fly like no bird in the winter season,
When they contain all reason.
The Man in the Moon chants
"Oh son! Come and share.
What glorious a night to be aware!
Sit by me and Alice,"
As his dog howls, downside up.
