The poem, which is part of Alice's adventures in Wonderland, deviates in terms of its shape as it is in the form of a tail (which links with the story of the mouse explored in the poem). The poem also builds on the pun between "tail" and "tale" as it is a tale (story) about a tail (the mouse). The shape of the poem makes it difficult to detect rhyme, which is another instance of deviation.
