in life -- shrugged the stoic Ms. Hatter
there are very few things that matter
the rest -- mincing words
is food for the birds
watch out, cause their droppings do splatter
she said this, and looked at me thus
as if to convey -- what's the fuss
her eyes were unswerving
I found it unnerving
and hastily made for the bus
