It was all very well to say `Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. `No, I'll look first,' she said, `and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked `poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.

 White Rabbit  hear it

  by Jefferson Airplane

 One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, 

 And the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all. 

 Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall. 

 And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall, 

 Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call. 

 Call Alice when she was just small. 

 When the men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go, 

 And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low, 

 Go ask Alice. I think she'll know. 

 When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, 

 And the white knight is talking backwards, and the red queen's off with her head, 

 Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head! Feed your head!"
