Wonderland

Wonderland

The wonderful land that Alice found

In a hole, under a tree trunk

Was not as wonderful as she had imagined.

Even there,

There were people enslaved to watches,

Foolishly stuck in a sea of muddy vanity

And arrogant queens who killed their subjects.

But when she opened her eyes and returned

To the plain world she had left behind,

She created a fantasy land

That made real people envy her.

(You know, kids like to tell tall stories...)
