Love and the Mad Hatter

Being envious and living in the past is no way to love

She starred into the mirror trying to remember
her more youthful days as a radiant beauty
with her eyes opened as wide as possible
the Mad Hatter counted all her new wrinkles

1,2 No 4! there's more!
she cried in disbelief at the power
that time has over all living beings
except the Queen of Hearts
she is always beautiful, the Hatter thought

"More green!, more green!, quickly!"
her voice screamed into the mirror
her servant protested, claiming that she had
enough green on to cover the entire planet

Hatter grabbed the green makeup
and slashed it all over her eye lids
she blinked fast and hard at her own reflection
there! there! the wrinkles have vanished!

"Excuse me Ma'am but your company is watching"
her servant said pointing to the prince on the sofa

Hatter tilted her hat to the side then
marched over to the prince and growled
"You pervert! You was watching my a*s!
Your just like my last boyfriend.. first a finger
then your candle stick... sick sick sick!
The prince raised his hand to cover his face
just as hatter tried to hit him on the lips

"D****t Johnny, why did you leave me for the Queen?"
her finger pointed directly at his nose
she sat down beside him and started to cry
"You think she's more beautiful than me!
Don't you? Don't you! Hatter screamed

The prince leaned back away from her
"Hatter have you gone totally insane?
My name is Greg not Johnny and I
wasn't watching your a*s at all.  I think
your beautiful without all that green make up on!

The Hatter's mouth opened and her eyes squinted
with teeth clinched as tight as possible she hissed
"You like her a*s better!  I saw you watching it
the other day over tea while she was on TV!"
Hatter stood up and kicked him in the chest
"D****t Johnny you love her a*s more than me!"
Hatter cried streaming green makeup into her hands

The prince called for his things before standing up
Hatter asked him where he was going
the prince didn't say anything until he reached the door

"For the last time my name is Greg and not Johnny
I think your a*s is just divine as golden wine
but Johnny and I have something in common
I too will take my chances with the Queen of Hearts
she may castrate me but at least she isn't crazy"

The prince stormed out the door and never returned
Hatter sat on the sofa and shock her head
"What the Frack!  did he just leave me for the queen too?
I knew he liked her red a*s more!"

Men are all the same
Hatter thought to herself before returning to the mirror
to count all her new wrinkles on her face

1,2 No 4! there's more!

I love this upside down crazy poem. Unfortunately many times women are like that and it is because society say being your and thin is what is acceptable for women. This was creatively done and I love how you made the hatter counter her wrinkles and call him Johnny when his name was Greg.

Oh, it is great- just watched Johnny in Alice yesterday..
This hatter was as mad as Johnny lol ..
The poem is satirically funny.. in a good way.

Ostensible Truth: It is a series of pictures from one photographer on Alice in Wonderland. I have two more pics to create poems for including Alice her self but that may take awhile to come up with something good.

[OT]

haha I love this - I wonder if the picture is from like a collection with the red queen one they have the same style kind of - also the poem tone is similar to it too - like a collection ha - the same whimsical, though intensified (as is expected for the hatter ha) voice through it - just great - I love the whole idea for it - bravo!!! enjoyed!

edit: oo well I look forward to seeing what you do ha! I like Alice as you'd guess maybe lol

[*~DreamDeamon~*]

Wow there's a lot to grasp but I really like it. The different style the new writing is cool, new, and really good. I really like it good job.

a bit bloody brilliant, this one! hatter tryin' to live up to the plastic "fantastic"
quite a sad little story but very well told.

A wonderful marriage of real and whatever it is - don't think it's on this world!

You've swept the envious green to the not so green in age woman's thoughts into another dimension, added a touch of Gregg not Johnny plus the Queen - seems someone's off with her head .. getting older, less assured, less anything and everything at each moment!

Love the strut of this, love the 'don't care a damn' originality.

[Ladysue]

what a brilliant piece...you have shown the maddess and obsession that can lead to what she is afraid of...almost like a self fulfilling prophesy...great work...

brilliant use of analogy to incorporate relationships into the world of the wonderland..indeed green eyeshadow is a no no LOL

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Oh wow! This is off the chain awesome!

[Awkward]

The picture is amazing let me start of with that! Also this poem is all over the place yet close enough to be understood! Good job! I loved it! Great read! Thank you for sharing.
