Thanks for the excitement, Soloflecks, very cute!
Sigh.. ahhhh well. Enjoy the ride everyone.
Hmm, "enjoy the ride" reminded me of a collaboration I once did at another forum, in which Alice looks forward to a wild ride...for some reason I'm guided to share it here.
My username was Lightbody and my co-poet is Paradise Child:
Lightbody
The Caterpillar took its hookah
from its mouth and said:
WHO are YOU?
What do you do?
Are you happy or blue?
False or true?
Alice answered:
I hardly know, sir...
my life's in a whir,
my mind is a blur,
I've not a dollar nor a diller.
So pass that hookah, Caterpillar,
or I'll crush ya, that's for sher.
ParadiseChild
Caterpiggle wiggle
You sure are plush
Think I'll sit on you
* plants her tush *
So whatz yer vision?
Whatz the vista?
Fill this hookah
Wontcha mistah…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cracked my head
open. Colored rain
Fall'd skyward from
My swirling brain.
Twin a minute
Knew it t'all
Now you kin, Alice
Though yer small…
But one puff
is definitely *not* enough
Lightbody
Alice said:
Be quiet, bug,
Don't push yer drug,
You plushy lug.
I'm saving room
for the 'shroom.
Then I'll ZOOM.
Wmmvrrvrrmmmvvrrvrrvrrrrrrrmmmmm...
ParadiseChild
Hmm I see,
my Alice chile,
what's behind
that dainty smile…
'Shroom indeed,
but for that
yewl have to see
the Cheshire Cat.
Two puffs then
before yer gone
from me silly
billy bong…
Lightbody
Oh fuzzy one, yer really trippin',
perhaps you should slow down a bit?
I mean the 'shroom on which we're sittin',
me on you and you on it.
From nibblin' this mound
I could get taller or smaller
dependin' on which side,
and thass a toughie, 'cause, you see,
it's perfectly round.
Whatevah--it'll be a wild ride!
ParadiseChild
Harrumph! Yes well
I *might* have tripped
and I wasn't told
There was a script
How queer indeed
Your words be true
A mushroom sure
as I am blue…
Must be the Cheshire kitty lied
Or then like now I wuz too fried
So psilly fungi's a magic seat
From which side will you eat?
Lightbody
[/b]Which side shall I eat?
That's tough, as I said,
It's so round a seat
with, really, no sides,
it boggles my head
but it's time that I tried...[/b]
(Alice stretches her arms around the
'shroom as far as they will go, and breaks
off a bit of the edges with each hand. She
nibbles a bit of the right-hand side...)
OOF! my chin's on my foot! this is not goot!
(She tries a bit from the other side.)
OOPS! my head's in the sky! Well, I DID want to get
high...
(And Alice continues on with her adventures, leaving
the Caterpillar peacefully smoking his hookah...one
last party before entering the darkness and stillness of
cocoon-time, where no smoking is allowed. Instead, the
Caterpillar dreams
constantly, in vivid color--X-rated dreams
of butterfly love...)
