Oh, Peter Pan Tina Choi | Poetry Oh Peter Pan don’t deceive me with your little tricks, We all want to grown up “chicks” (my brother taught me this) I don’t want to sit all day pray Until the day Peter pan Transforms me into a man Everyday I’ll have a chocolate sundae with Oreos on top, Oh and don’t forget to put the heart shaped sprinkles. If I have a job, I’ll buy all the tootsie rolls in the shop I won’t worry about the wrinkles As long as I am an adult. I can be in a wheelchair all day long, Playing tag with my dog Arthritie. This is where I belong How could I ever be unhappy? But mommy, Do I have to wash the dishes today? My friend never does the dishes, who is it.. Tommie! Please let daddy stay And do the dishes. He’s an adult! 45
