Her Name is Alice - Shinedown

She sips so slowly from an ivory bottle
before seeing the appearing Cheshire cat.
He’s convinced his prowess will prevail
until she pulls out a butcher knife from her dress,
seconds later he lies skinned and in a bloodied pool.

Alas her elixir was a narcotic that produced psychosis,
a gift from the Mad Hatter.

And being a cat lover to the heart
meant dinner instead of a pet.
