Looking at the picture I wished I were Alice

Lost in Wonderland, drinking from the bottle

To shrink me to about ten inches

so I can live beneath the red mushroom castle.

Meet friends there that I could imagine

The king and queen of the woodland

would invite me in for tea

Ask me if I would like to stay

To be the daughter they had long wished for

Who wouldn’t want to lose sixty years?

Be sixteen again, live in Wonderland

The answer was easy…

YES…
