Captain Hook knew that the bear was running—
Even as the sun rose, busting through clouds.
And then Bear blew Peter to Cameroon.
Wendy Darling found a Cockatiel
Named Jason (they made lemonade out loud).
Our best pastries are made with lemon-peel,
While the worst are our fluffy macaroons.
What made us stand for Miss Rachel Gunning?
It was the silver sparrow of Stuttgart,
Miracle bird, smaller than a swallow,
A holy ghost of Musical Fine Art.
Hearing whistles in coal mines, we wallow
In mysterious misery…. Thunder,
In words read, turkey in stomach: Wonder.
