Alice In Blunder-Land
“I am Alice, Nice to meet you
I’d hug you & greet you
would you please be kind enough
to show me around your world?”
“Greetings of the day O’ Miss!
a hug for free? why not a kiss?
I am the random romeo on the street
with only my hands do I greet
If you don’t mind a little touch & feel
I’d love to show you my world!”
“Get Back! you filthy little creep
the longer I stay, the lower you steep
I’ve never known such audacious speech
I forbid you to further say a word,
I’d find my way around this world!”
“I am Alice, Nice to meet you
I’d hug you & greet you
would you please be kind enough
to show me around your world?”
“Make way, Miss! I have a cab to catch,
is it my wallet you’re looking to snatch?
Don’t bother with your sweet routine
I am the Corporate Ice Queen
I have no time for even family or friends
& here you are, thinking I have time to lend
and show you the world?”
“Oh My! you really are cold
I am shaken by your manner bold
your words hurt. your tone stings
you’re a venomous bee without wings
I’d like to flee away from you now
I’d find my way around this world!”
“I am Alice, Nice to meet you
I’d hug you & greet you
would you please be kind enough
to show me around your world?”
“What would I do with greetings alone?
I am an ‘artist’, to a price I am prone
My time , my art, my words are all for sale
I can show around but a charge shall entail
show me the gold
before I show you my world!”
“An artist you said?
Did I hear that right?
your art must be suffering a demeaned plight
your instinct must not be subject to a price
you can only be an artist if you freely entice
Your trading of art is rather twisted & twirled
I’d find my way around this world!”
“I am Alice, Nice to meet you
I’d hug you & greet you
would you please be kind enough
to show me around your world?”
“I a homeless man, I beg on these streets
these people you ask, are poorer than me
they have no alms or time to spare
they’re selfish & rotten, & don’t seem to care
with one arm they give, with the other they take
that, to them is charity, their ideals are fake
I’ve been watching you waste your time with these freaks,
greed is what each of them seeks
one is greedy for flesh, the other stingy with time
they won’t spend a second with you, till you spare a dime
Halt your journey here my child
you don’t need to see more of this world!”
