Some Kind Of Syndrome
There is no Peter Pan land.
How about Peter Pan syndrome?
Not grown up, though you’re a man.
Some things are never outgrown.
Some call it Never, Never land.
Never what? Or do you even care?
Maybe because it’s not for man.
Kids do much better there.
Once there, you are young forever.
With all your imaginations & fantasies.
Never worry about someone saying never.
Just pirates & knights & canticles.
There is also Merlin syndrome.
Each year you get a year younger.
As awkward as a Mickey Mouse phone.
Yet powerful, as lightening is to thunder.
What’s all this talk about silly stuff?
Is this a modern day fairy tale?
Far from it. Not even Pied Piper in the rough.
Just food for thought to feed a whale.
