Wondered

You've wondered beyond that safe zone

There is no one to dry your tears

 

there is no one to sing you to sleep

There is no one to check for monsters

 

there are no tea parties

There is no jester

 

There is no laughing or playing

or joking or dancing

 

You've wondered too far

You've wondered beyond

 

There are no grassy plains

or glistening water

 

There are no yapping dogs

or hissing cats

 

You'll have to find your own way out

But I have to tell you I don't play fair

 

Yes I will cheat

Yes I will trick you

 

You much be clever and cunning

to find your way out

 

If you want to get back to your dolls

and to your home

 

You'll have to pass my test

 

If you want to get back to your mother

and father

 

You'll have to pass my test

 

If you should not succeed

then you will have to stay

 

You will have to laugh and play here

 

This will be your new home

 

If you cannot pass my test

this was chilling--I imagined that it was REALITY talking
