In a far far land...


I am too old for 'Alice in Wonderland' but sometimes I wonder about the perfect world for us and for our children. This poem is a reflection of what we all would want to be in that happy-happy world - more love, less crime and of course, truck loads of happiness. That would be the adult version of WONDERLAND.
