I tucked the two children into their beds
I wished them a great sleep and a good night
they wanted a story to fill their heads
and well... ummm... I guess it turned out all right
They asked for a tale about Peter Pan
It started off as a sort of prequel
of the boy who never became a man
but his family story was just cruel
He had a sister named Jessica Pan
who didn't believe and so couldn't fly.
She was not magical; her life was bland
but the sleepy children still closed their eyes
I guess there's just a strange sort of glory
in getting cheers from a boring story
