Passing of Puff
On Cherry lane a grown up little boy
Has no time left for painted wings or rings
And no time left for fearless roars of joy.
Paper Jackie, once deferred by kings
Abandoned all his sealing wax and strings.
Pirate ships now fly their flags up high
Enough to mock what dragonlessness brings.
Regret is life lived as a past reply
So, forget your childhood, live the adult lie.
Oh Jackie boy you've been too long from sea.
Never more you get to question why.
Now every ship gets wrecked on Honah Lee
Empty Autumn mists obscure the stones;
The beach is littered with old dragon bones.
On Cherry lane a grown up little boy
Has no time left for painted wings or rings
And no time left for fearless roars of joy.
Paper Jackie, once deferred by kings
Abandoned all his sealing wax and strings.
Pirate ships now fly their flags up high
Enough to mock what dragonlessness brings.
Regret is life lived as a past reply
So, forget your childhood, live the adult lie.
Oh Jackie boy you've been too long from sea.
Never more you get to question why.
Now every ship gets wrecked on Honah Lee
Empty Autumn mists obscure the stones;
The beach is littered with old dragon bones.
