So who are you now my 3-headed hydra-friend - a lugubrious
Don Quixote - or an innocent and earnestly-searching Little
Prince - or the facetious Mad Hatter whose enormous top hat
has to keep his head from exploding from his knowing of all
Kinds of literature, firmly decided that Sherlock Holmes shall be
pronounced the greatest while poor Agatha Christie will be best
served by being ground down into a fine powder to be buried
underfoot: but as Alice in Wonderland loves having tea-parties
With the Mad Hatter while going on trips with the Little Prince,
then assisting Don Quixote to attack windmills - which happen
to awaken his rage against ignorance he detests, she’s happy
to join all three heads and go on a quest; the Mad Hatter offering
An entertainment of riddles and strange comments and the Little
Prince insisting that his favourite Princess should behead him as
soon as possible - before he commits unpardonable sins - and
Don Quixote fittingly cogitating the Divine, and bemoaning
A lack of meaning in life - fearing that he might be killed when
someone mentions the word guillotine - with all these thoughts
and events swirling in her head, & the Wicked Witch of the West
deviously trying to contribute to the conversation, Alice is totally
Occupied and wonderfully entertained by these wonderful beings
all taking a bow in Wonderland…
