“Warning to the Twins”

Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb

Where walking through the woods one day

When Alice came upon them

With her step so slight and queer.

In her ringing voice she warned them

Of the danger coming near;

Of the Evil waiting for them just

Beyond the eve of ‘year.

“In the morrow of the Future

Do expect your greatest fear,”

She warned the Twins so heartily

Wishing they would hear.

Her wish was more than useless

As their laughter filled the air.

With a final word of warning Alice

Turned away in fear.

As she waltz away she heard them,

So very loud and clear,

Laughing at her warning

That she meant as quite sincere.

Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb,

With laughter on their lips

Continued on their way

To seek adventures Far and Near.

Not far above their heads

The storm clouds came in fierce.

The Twins looked to one another,

With Her warning in their ears.

Grasping hands they ran for cover

Hoping to escape their dreadful fate.

In the arms of one another

They could not help but shed a tear.

As they sat there cold and scared

Time passed at a rate not fair.

As the morrow of the Future

Came so very near.

With the clap and ring of Thunder

And the mighty boom of Lightning

The Twins huddled close together

And their folly now was clear.

Loudly in their minds

Alice’s warning echoed clear

As they realized there was nothing they        could do,

As their fate became ever clear.

With a great beastly growl

The night was split by the mighty fires high

To strike the very place they hid

And now the Twins felt no more fear.

As Alice pranced along,

Her road so very clear,

Her lost friends where on her mind

And she dropped a single tear.

Now there’s nothing left to fear,

Nor is there much to cheer.

Again she’ll repeat her warning

Of the danger coming near…
