The mirror on the ceiling took her away

A ragtag girl in an abandoned building
Transported to an underwater play

She danced with her new dress floating around the mansion unaware that behind the pictures and within the clock lingered malicious Fay

Like Alice in Dreamland, yet Alice was aware of the horror and the world was wrong to her in so many a way

Our heroine was in need of escape, since she had run out of time and patience to indulge books, life was a humdrum that caught her up in hooks so that the wilderness of the sea-world easily anchored her away

With a dream on her mind
And with pain leaving her heart
Like a diver she explored
Through the drifting and the bubbles
She found the front door
The fairies rushed forth screaming NO!
But it was already open so out they all go
In a waterfall of silk cascading beautifully down
A neverending fall to a non-existent ground
Was a cure to the humdrum boredom after all
So Alice stayed
