Tick Tock

Tick Tock

A Poem by Obscured by the Shadows
"

Tick tock, tick tock...

"

Tick tock, tick tock

my clock is telling me

that I am late, I'm late

for a very important date.

 

The queen has called me to her castle, 

the cards are surrounding me

falling all around.

It is clear that I was late

for that very important date.

 

Oh no,

there goes

my small white fluffy head.

Falling to the ground 

like the cards I saw before.

 

The red queen

holds no mercy for me in her heart

nor for anyone else.

 

If it wasn't for her jabberwocky, 

a beast so large and cruel,

we'd have taken back our kingdom.

It would have been her head that fell.

 

Tick tock, tick tock

my clock is telling me

that I am late, I'm late

for a very important date.

 

Down with the bloody red queen.

Author's Note

Obscured by the Shadows
Obviously I was inspired by Alice in Wonderland, it is in the view point of the white rabbit.
