Alice Discovers Concrete (Poetry) in Wonderland!

The long-running TV game show “Jeopardy” features Carrolian “answers” on a regular basis.  Sadly, the three contestants often don’t know the appropriate “question” in response.  But on the May 29th episode, the Mouse’s Tale was used as an example of “this kind of poetry” and a contestant correctly responded “what is concrete?”

Wikipedia also references the Mouse’s Tale when giving examples of concrete poetry.  We’ve heard of a “poetry slam” but the Mouse’s Tale is more of a “poetry slab!”
