My response to Björn Rudberg’s challenge in Quadrille
Alice was acquainted with the intricate rules
Of formal ballroom dancing, particularly quadrilles.
Thus she was not disconcerted, bewildered or bemused
By curious events that would otherwise confuse
When sea creatures joined together in their pairs,
Took to the floor and danced in squares.

How fun! I loves me some Alice, and this is perfectly in keeping with Carroll’s tone.

Jabberwocky!!! Oh I love how this kept the tone of Carroll’s writing. Since mock turtles aren’t real turtles, I imagine they can have some quick and clever moves. 🙂
