Miss Alice Decides

 By Deborah J Lindsey

Who’s it to be Miss Alice?

Him or me?

Tweedle Deedle Dum

or me-

Tweedle Deedle Dee?”

Alice stared betwixt them

And then she stared between

Could these poor fellows be serious?

Surely it was but a dream?

Four eyes peered at her

These Tweedle Deedle Twins

She could scarcely tell which was who

Or what was wisp or whim.

Marry us Sweet Alice!

Please won’t you tell?

We could dine quite fine

on oysters,

spread half upon the shell.

Take us both or only one

Please choose, for we most know

For track or train or rain in Spain

Do not Deedle Dwaddle so.

Dear Sirs, I do beg your pardon,

I do not mean to be so cocky,

I will marry neither Dee nor Dum

For I love the Jaberwocky.
