I'm Late, I'm Late.

Time ticks on

as the white rabbit runs,

and the house of cards

begins to fall.

Dormouse snores

as the mad hatter

chatters unconcerned.

Too late, salvation lies

beyond reach

dates fall from the tree

where silent,

the calendar mocks.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A careless mistake, and an important credit card payment is missed.

Thank you, I hadn't intended

Thank you, I hadn't intended it to have that theme but the thought that I was late paying conjured up the rabbit and the cards bit followed, and that was that.  So glad you liked it :-) Sue.
