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".
