The Whole World Would Wonderful Be

If humans could smile like me

The whole world would wonderful be

In Wonderland, we like to drink tea

The whole world would wonderful be

 

In the beginning, I lived with a Duchess

She almost drove me away with all of her crazy sayings

They don't even make sense

Not even to cats, rats, or fish doormen

Not even to her, I think

 

The duchess's cook was worse even

She could not cook at all, it seems

Everything had too much pepper

And everyone sneezed the day out

And then the next day in

 

The Duchess's baby was crazy

The baby would do nothing but sneeze and groan

After a while, it found its head and

Turned into a pig instead

 

I could not stand it there

It was always so loud

People could hear them all over town

Some even called the Duchess a clown

A clown that she was

A clown that she wasn't

A town that she was

A town that she wasn't

 

The doormen were strange when the Duchess was out, and when she was not

They were even stranger

I couldn't stand them at any time of day

They only stood there

Which I could do

Probably better than them

 

I hated that house

I wanted to leave but wanted to stay

Until that girl called me away

She needed me

And she was better

Than anything in that wretched house of pepper

 

She was a mystery greater than them

I needed to see who she was ,

How she had come and why

She was so curious, it was so strange

She wanted directions which I gladly gave

 

She went to see the mad ones

Having their mad tea party

Sitting around a table

Singing their silly ditties

 

While I waited in silence

Knowing where she would soon be

All visitors to Wonderland always visit the Queen

And there it all goes wrong

Everything, believe me

 

Each person is gone

They run awayThe queen chases them out

And our fun is done

Until another day

 

I visited the croquet group because it's usually funny

To see all the people

Pretending to be

More important than they are

 

The Duchess was there

She's always posing, pretending

That people like her

Though they don't

 

The King tried to cut off my head

Which was not attached to my body

The executioner replied this cannot be tried

There is no body

But the King yelled,

"There is a head

You must be able to cut off a head!"

 

I left there and then

I am not going back again

I hope the girl is fine, but I shall not divine the answer to this today

Or any other
