Down the Wishing Well

Hello Gals!!!!
and lads too, if they happen to be joining in the fun
Well instead of being late
I'm early to this years Mad Hatter Tea Party.
It's a little awkward being the first to arrive
but with such mad company
I am sure to think it should be just as awkward to arrive fashionably late
Don't you?


I must say...
the route one must take to arrive at such a destination
is quite extraordinarily preposterous
I practically fell into a wishing well!


The company is MAD of coarse!
What more could you expect?


Such terrible manners too...
their mothers should be ashamed!


There is small chit chat
nothing more than the octave of a country mouse


And enough sweets and treats to fill one large cat
or to satisfy the appetite of a walrus perhaps?


I'm always so in awe of the Mad Hatter's fine taste


Each afternoon
exactly at noon
(or at-least that's what his watch always says)
He serves tea until a quarter to 3
and then he start all over again and
everyone move one seat to their left.
Oh what a splendid time I'm having
how about you?

Would you like another cup or two of tea?
No, you think you've had enough,
you've gone around the table twice
and sat in every chair thrice?
well I don't think your math quite matches up...

Perhaps you got too much pepper in your nose
when you visited that crazy old duchess?
oh, did you hear?
the duchess must go to court today
seems she did something to upset the Queen!


What?
You haven't met the queen?
oh, well you better be careful!
And hold your tongue
she seems to have a likeness to heads
and not in a pleasant kind of way
Oh my it is getting late...
I have enjoyed all of your company so much.
Make sure you say hello to Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum
before you go,
they always amuse me so

LOL!!!!
Being silly is so much fun!
Thanks for stopping by
I hope you have just as many crazy and mad adventures as I!
Toodles...

~Chelsea Ann

P.S.
The artwork was created especially for today...
take a peak in my shop if you like
you will find these and many more
