Why The Cheshire Cat Grins (a poem)

I know why the Cheshire Cat grins,
He's playing a game he knows he'll never win,
The end is near,
And yet he does not fear.
He is well aware,
Of all the traps that do ensnare,
He sees the world about him,
As one without a care.
For he knows the spiral down,
From the circle of a crown,
And it keeps him by and by,
No more troubles in his mind.
I know why the Cheshire Cat grins,
Its because he cannot sin,
Its because he's "out" and somehow "in,"
Its because he's not really there,
Not really there at all!
