Just then, the Mad Hatter looked at the pocket watch that had magically appeared within his sphere of reference and noticed something only he could have seen.
"I see by the clock that it mid-July, so it must surely be time to celebrate my favorite time of year!"
The March Hare reached down and plucked the Dormouse from his usual sleeping spot within the teapot.
"Do do, do tell!" the March Hare requested... and the Mad Hatter politely obliged.
“Twas noel, and the santaclaus did crèche and tinsel in the snow;
All wreathy were the aunts-in-laws, and the merry mistletoe.
’I wanta lectrictrain, my dad! With car that slides, with track that rocks!
Beware the bricabrac, and shun the magi jackinbox!’
He took his blitzen sword in hand; Long time the festive foe he sought,
So rested he by the reindeer tree, and stood awhile in thought.
And as in holly thought he stopped, the lectrictrain, with eyes of flame,
Came yuling through the fruitcaked shop, and eggnogged as it came.
One, two! One, two! And through and through the blitzen blade went snicker-snack!
He grabbed it, and, with it in hand, He went decembring back.
’And hast though come with lectrictrain? Come to my arms, my gifty dad!
O Christmas day! Yip yip! Hey hey!’ He caroled in his glad.
Twas noel, and the santaclaus did crèche and tinsel in the snow;
All wreathy were the aunts-in-laws, and the merry mistletoe.”

Just then, very merry fireworks exploded high above as the Dormouse came floating gently down.
As he landed among the cups and platters and teapots of the Mad Hatter's gathering, he noticed that something very odd had happened. It was as though time had slipped by... or backwards, as the case may be. I'm not quite sure~

'The Blitzen Blade'! I giggled! This was a very snappy and keen re-wording of T'was 'Brillig', bringing with it the true terrors of the festive season. It will be on us soon enough!
ReplyDeleteA story teller you must be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tea party tale.
