Here comes the days of craving tasteless food
To dip biscuits in tea by your bed
Today I'm the exact opposite of a *****
Groans and hmms and spitting red
Oh, but wait, my nose unblocked
I breathe with both nostrils now
The movie I just watched totally rocked
I feel like sleeping again, but how?
Toss and turn, take a pill
Blowing my nose some more
Cough drops? No, I've got nil
**** my throat will stay sore

*he got them in a box, over Christmas
and he wore them everyday that week
the pyjamas, they were blue and white
oh how cozy he was each night*
at age eight, the world was his oyster
and he dreamed of hanging bridges
the pyjamas, they made him fly
oh how, how he soared so very high
he tucked them away, as the flowers grew
and away they were kept year by year
the boy still closed his eyes, though
he was led into a world, by himself
the pyjamas, they were catching dust
this world, a place oozing with lust
he glanced at them, as the flowers wilted
and glanced at they were, year by year
it started a crack in the boy's voice
Peter Pan was now fictional
the pyjamas, were still there for him
but he, took each day with more grim
he opened the box in his closet, as the flowers grew again
it was a metamorphosis
you could even tell by the hair on his face
the pyjamas, they no longer fit
and now he, had a reputation of grit
he tucked them away, as the flowers grew
and away they were kept year by year
*his son received something similar, over Christmas
the little boy hoped for a video game
the pyjamas, still blue and white
held less significance at night*
it was time to throw his pyjamas away
he burnt his child-like innocence, as
his memories - slowly - became dull, and grey
