Is Size Important?

"I think size matters",
Said Alice to the Hatter,
"I much prefer a ten to a four!"
"What about an eight?"
Chimed the March Hare late,
"Or would that make you tender and sore?"

The Queen of Hearts said "a six is fine
And will usually give some pleasure.
But if you don't mind, I'll take a nine
And go hunting for much deeper treasure."

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Stood in the corner looking glum,
Crying" we've only got a three!"
"Shame," said Alice, "What shall we do?
I'm afraid a three's no good to me!

I could take a six at a pinch,
But just one extra inch
And a seven would take me to heaven."

But what's all this fuss laid before us?
What commotion, chaffing and din?
Have patience dear reader
I think you'll agree,
The right hat is an important thing!
