Let me tell you something I learned today It's the reason children know how to run and play You see they still remember being birds They are rather new to all our words This, of course, is the reason why That with some fairy dust they can fly The very young will still itch On the spots where their wings used to twitch And this is why they are so wild and free Because they used to sail the air's great sea Now the adults have all forgotten Which is why they sometimes act so rotten So next time a grown-up is being a **** Remind them that you only just stopped to chirp
Based on J.M. Barrie's theory on the origin of children found in his work, "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens".
