When I was young,
my imagination was vast,
The characters that I played,
when I put on a mask.
Peter Pan, is who I wanted to be,
With Tinkerbell,
and Captain Hook,
the pirates I could see.
I was in love with Wendy,
and that was really a fact,
When I took her to “Never Never Land”,
around her, I didn’t know how to act.
I taught her how to fly,
and swing a sword, so true,
We took her brothers with us,
John and Michael too.
I pretended that my tree house,
was my hideout clad in leaves,
It was really very small,
I had to climb in on my knees.
My next door neighbor played Wendy,
(I really liked her allot) ,
but “Tink” didn’t like her much,
she was always so distraught.
As a boy, I didn’t know,
what jealousy was all about,
but put those two together,
they’d always scream and shout.
Well I soon tired of playin’ Peter,
That's because they argued so,
So I took to being Superman,
and let those two girls go! !
