Trying to squeeze through the 'rabbit hole'

"Would you teach me how to dance, uncle"
asked the little boy,
"No" said the dance to the uncle,
"I do not wish to be his toy!"

"When it rains, little boy" said the uncle,
"I will teach you how to boat".
"No" said the little boy to his uncle,
"I can't 'cause I'll be wearing a rain coat."

"In the winter, when it snows", said the uncle,
"I will teach you how to paint colors".
"No" said the snow to the uncle,
"I would rather prefer to remain duller."

What then, thought the uncle,
could he teach the little boy,
"Teach me to write a poem, uncle"
"For that would bring me a lot of joy!"
