CD : 464: inspiration

The Mead of Poets
Reverend Thanks
Alice took a drink
the label said to do
her body did shrink
yet her story, it grew so
from a fanciful boat ride
to entertainments
and logic puzzles en mass
will you also sup?

Perhaps a different kind of brew, ‘imagination from underground’
from one of my favored characters.

    I think that those adventures coming out of a bottle is a little scare for young girls to get involved in.. chasing white rabbits ... but imagination is nice.

      Fairy tales, I think were meant to be just a tad scary. Life lessons and all that. Still thought I think I read once that most nursery rhymes were political satire.
      Ring Around the Rosie was about the 'Black Plague'.

    A nicely done take on the theme.. I am still trying to understand the spirit behind Carpe Diem.. Yet present my humble attempt here..

    fairy tales are something where one can do whatever they like. And your one, itself is a piece of inspiration to me.

    How it provoked the minds of young readers. The sacrifice of an adventure underground that sustained itself. Great one Jules!
