RABBIT AND HATTER
The Day Time Was a Matter
By: AMG Atiyeh
“What time reads on that noisy clock that always ticks?” said the hatter to the anxious hare
 
Its forward for a few, and has stopped for a lot, and some say it's not really there
 
Rabbit stop at once! Just tell me what time your clock hands read!
 
Well why a hand and not a foot? Hands don't move forward. The foot of time is who leads
 
You are nuts and drive me mad! Just tell me what reads the time on that clock
 
If numbers are read, than words can count. So a hand is now for a sock
 
Stop at once! I warn you rabbit, time doesn't want to be of waste today!
 
We'll get your own clock and give me back my favorite sock! Goodbye Hatter and good day!!
 
I am sorry rabbit! I shouldn't get mad! The hat is too tall and I have little time to trim where it grew.
 
A smaller head will fix your bad hat. Maybe you can put your socks inside it too
 
I'm always late or too early. I am haunted by the ghost of a clock who who got lost in between the folds of time..
 
Don’t be sad old friend. Your heart can mend . Maybe Alice can twist the winder and speed up to a place where you are not worried and feeling just fine
 
Don’t bug the girl with these things, can’t we just hide or shrink or slip into the woods way far away?
 
Oh dear you sap. I’ll be back soon For a nap. Let’s go to Alice before night turns into day.
 
So the two rabbit and Hatter flew.  In a boat upstream its true,  With a pull of handle they crashed up against the air.
TIME
They met Alice again, and tipped the otters flying boat for the spin. Without help they could not arrive the Hatter or the hare. .
 
Alice it’s you!  can you tell the words to us? The ones that freeze the hands In time?
 
Once again, you two make trouble and bend. But I’ll offer a couple hours and commit the crime.
 
As you count the letters backwards from Z, I’ll end at the T and recite the ravens caw with a  push down the rabbit hole and you fall
 
You will grab the phone and dial the star when you hear a tone. Freezing time and making it stall
 
Yes me and the hare count letters backwards with care. We will see that the job is done.
 
So they fixed the time. They never were caught for this crime. He now had more time to drink tea and sit beneath the sun.
