There was another young girl
Who had magical red shoes
I tell Alice
She clicked them three times
And wished herself home
Sounds a little lazy
She says
Did she not have to solve puzzles
Yes I say
And she made friends along the way
Just like you
Hmm she ponders
I am quite happy with my
Shiny black shoes
There is quite enough adventure
And magic in the world
To need magical feet
And what would the Red Queen say
I think she would disapprove
I tell her
I am glad there is red
In the world
But I find blue more calming
And golden hair
She giggles
Nothing too bright and shiny
That hurts us
That is why we had to turn the
Red bed grey
We stay for a second in the silence
It is good to have a jolt of colour
But rather nice to sink back in the clouds.
