Which Side of What Are You?

Picture by John Tenniel

Driftling down the nature trail

Nibbling curious snacks

Fantastic dreams beyond the pale

Send you sliding off your tracks

 

Shrinking stretching as you wend

Distraction and mishap

Take care with routes that sweep you

Offbeat beyond your map

 

Of many things not understood

And masses more besides

If things are not the way, they should

Each explanation then collides

 

When snooping uninvited

Avoid that tedious distrait plot

Not put off by preposterous

On the other side of what?

Loosely based on Lewis Carroll's - Alice meets the caterpillar
