Crazy

I happened upon a cat one day
And to my dismay

The thing could talk
I mean, talk a lot

He told me this, and he told me that
Things not usually known by cats

I listened for a long while
And then I began to smile

Why are you laughing at me
While I am talking to you, he asked

And I replied, it is just that
This must be a very amusing dream

Or maybe I'm hallucinating
Or something in between

Or maybe you're just crazy, said the cat
As he began to lick his paws clean

Who´s the Cheshire cat, Linda?

I enjoyed this Alice-in-wonderland-write, and loved especially the message. Who decides what or who is crazy? Yours, ~Nina P.S. inbetween->in between?

Hi, Nina

Thank you for reading. I had to look up in between, and you are correct. There is also an in-between, but I believe you are correct with the in between. Thank you for catching that. Sincerely, Linda
