Alice in Wonderland Sestina
Alice, oh Alice! She followed the White Rabbit, his long white beard
Down the rabbit hole to the room with one door, two door, three door,
Four! Eat a piece
Of the cake why don’t you! It’ll make you smooth as ice
Smooth enough to slip through that thang
Into the wonderful wonderland of POWP
And into the wonderful wonderland of POWP
She slid and arrived, spotting Mr. White Rabbit, avec beard
With a thang
A door?
It smells like lush ice
‘Twas La Chenille and its hookah piece
You are a chess piece!
The prophecy of POWP!
La chenille declared, smoking ice
Mr. White Rabbit and of course his long white beard
Dragged Alice through the next door
To meet the next thang
And thang she met and met she thang
Its smile, an accessory piece
Truly opened the door
Of Alice’s eyes to the fantastical land of POWP
The cat strokes its whiskers like a beard
And disappeared, transparent like ice
The Red Queen heart cold as ice
Her head was a big thang
The Knave of Hearts at her right, acting as her beard
On her left, the two-piece
Tweedledee and Tweedledum of POWP
Alice ran out the front door
And into the door
Into the Castle of White, adorned with pearls and ice
The White Queen of POWP
Anne Hathaway played her in that thang
Gifted a sword known as Piece
And told Alice to put on her beard
Alice marched out the door
To the thang
Shaking like ice
Off with your head! Off in one piece!
The Jabberwocky, ultimate villain of POWP
To the ground fell his beard
