What happened in Wonderland?
What happened in Wonderland?
Did all the characters become too woke?
Laughter and banter was never ever spoke
Is humour, quirkiness and individuality all broke?
When did the climate decide to change?
Mary Poppin’s umbrellas scattered throughout the land
Was this the Wicked Witch of the North’s
Playing her evil hand?
Are the witches broomsticks now band?
The Queen of Hearts giant playing cards
Now lost and dispersed
The pack of giant cards scattered everywhere
There are absolutely no words
The familiar chaotic order of bedlam
Is nowhere to be seen
The Mad Hatter’s tea party
Now, never late
It never starts
It never takes place
As the empty plates, half empty teacups, half brewed teapots and freshly made half eaten cakes
Now dispersed around this unfamiliar desolate place
No, tea party table to be ever laid
It has no place
Chaotic discord and lateness has left this place
I’m totally phased
As the wind blows and the rain pelts down
Bouncing on this hard, battered ground
Wonderland strewn across this barren land
Will someone take me by the hand?
I wish I could turn back time
Before woke was a monster that was woken up
Before the climate decided to change
Familiar chaotic discord
In Wonderland was always embraced
Where everyday the Mad Hatter could be guaranteed to be extra late
As I pass another whirling swirling tea plate
Reach out to another of Mary’s floating open umbrella’s
As I stand in this unpredictable weather
I tap my black shiny boots
Will someone please return Wonderland?
To the way it used to be
Unique quirkiness and happiness spread all over the land
That is Wonderland!
Not these strewn barren lands
