lostgirl

one night he came

to my windowsill

had a knife

but would not kill

he took my hand

he flew outside

he tried to run

but could not hide

he jolted up

without a warning

second star to the right

and straight on till morning

we laughed and joked

our merry way

in neverland

i wished to stay

i gathered the lost boys

all around me

told them stories

one two four three

we spied on mean old

captain hook

smee's a coward

what a crook

alligators

tick and tock

frightened captain

finds his clock

"peter pan"

he screams and shouts

"draw your sword

and move about"

"here i am"

he called to him

"why so old, man?

why so grim?"

swish and swash

they fought all night

only lost at

dawn's first light

"not i," said peter

"down you go,

into the alligator,

to and fro"

"hoorah" we shout

"oh jubilation,

peter killed hook

and saved the nation"

i remember well that day

in neverland, i chose to stay
