Hissing engines

Day and night

Headlights on high beam

Wonderland never sleeps

Restlessness the residents’ friend

As sleep seems far

In the winter land of London Canada

Snow vehicles plow

Making way for drivers

Searching for a path

Wonderland never sleeps

In the sunny summer

When horns of trailers blare and brakes screech

And the loud mufflers of bikes herald their arrival

In the flurry of traffic’s steady flow

Sleepy people wait for

Stillness

One that never comes

As Wonderland stays awake
