For visually challenged writers, the image shows a leaf-strewn flight of stone-cut steps descending into a hole in the ground. Poised to ascend…or descend… is the dark silhouette of a strange figure.
Tick tock pocket watch
Who’s coming up the stairs
Tick tock stop the clock
Alice’s new friend appears.
Moving fast, Hurry hurry
Milliners licking lips, in a flurry
Time for tea, guests unaware
All laced with Mercury, mousey sleeping in his chair.
Jam tarts Queen of Hearts
Keep her smiling don’t let things fall apart.
Tick tock, chip Chop
Look out it heads off.
Alice is sleepy now
Home in bed wipes her brow.
Tick tock pocket watch
Who’s coming up the stairs?
