The Party's Over and The Frog Rabbit Done Got Drunk

Before I tell this tale.... it should be noted that for this Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party certain creative liberties were taken. For example: Alice and the Mad Hatter were not actually in attendance, there were no pink flamingos available for croquette and therefore mallets had to be improvised out of other poor unsuspecting creatures.
