“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. “Where do you want to go?” was his response. “I don’t know,” Alice answered. “Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.” Lewis Carroll

1. Here is a poem i wrote, featuring Alice and the Cat. I hope you enjoy reading it.

   I am a Cat, it said smiling at her,
   A Cheshire Cat, you can tell by my fur,
   My paws and whiskers are also a hint,
   But the smile on my face is most significant.

   *

   I can see by your fur, said Alice – I do,
   And also your paws and whiskers – it’s true,
   But that smile on your face has me all in a tizz,
   Coming and going in such a whiz.

   *

   Still smiling at Alice, the Cat dryly replied,
   You’d never believe me; you’d think I had lied,
   If the smile on my face was gone – it’s a fact,
   No one would listen or look at this Cat.

   *

   Without offering Alice the chance to reply,
   The Cat went on with his horrible lie,
   Creeping closer and closer, until ever so near,
   When he pounced, lashed out, cutting her ear.

   *

   Feeling the hurt and the blood running down,
   Alice said, Oh, I was such a clown,
   To have ever believed a Cat with a grin,
   Take that, and that, you horrible thing!
