Zodiac Cookies & Tea

After the party I...

woke up in Wonderland

with an eat me sign

stuck to my shoulder blade

cuddled next to a capricorn

grinning like a Cheshire Cat

who in his fashion disappeared

but not before handin' me

a ticket to Tahiti and kissin'

me on my inner thigh

sighing, I was beckoned to

the balcony by the caterpillar

who enjoyed sharing his knowledge

as long as you put in on it, man.

and maybe I was paranoid but

he blabbered bout some broad

named Alicefor so long

I obtained a bangin in my head.

The white rabbit was more than late, he was dead,

and the Hatter, well, he has snatched the sign off

my shoulder with scorn, asked me how I

was gonna hide the bunny's body.

I was confused because all I did was was have

a little too much Hennessey with a Capricorn

now I'm duckin' a felony with an insane insolent

that totals tea.

The Caterpillar blew from the balcony...

"True, but let's make rabbit stew.

I dunno about you, but, um,

Wonderland was wonderful

but I had my fill and the party was over...

I thought y'all didn't like the beat?

No seriously, the party was over.

And no amount of red leather pant wearin

R&B singers could persuade me

into playin' croquet.

The Capricorn appeared by the L

And called for me to come that way.

And I almost went, until I saw Alice

sittin on the corner

playin three card mali with the Dodo

who for all "intensive purposes"

just wanted to "conversate".

So I handed Alice a dollar and the Dodo a coupon

For Gino's Steaks where he could get

Three seven inches and a two-liter

For twelve ninety-nine plus tax

He ate that up.

Alice pointed to the notes floating in the air

and the March hare winked at me as I put

My foot on the treble clef and wandered

into the song of a Cancer.

Each lyric loved me the way I only

imagined in the land of wonder and I...

Never had to wonder, never had to want

Never had to ask.

I was entranced bu the Cancer's song and on skyscraper rooftops we danced,

While tuxedo clad fellows straddled cellos and Alice changed into yellow scarves to play the harp.

And we danced and swayed

And the day had more sunshine

And the night had more stars.

Venus and Mars came into agreement,

The Earth tilted just a little to the left on it's axis.

And we laughed as we waltzed in bliss.

And there's no way in hell Tahiti is as warm as this,

So I took the ticket out of pocket

and I let it flutter into the

Chicago wind.
