If I Could Be a Boy

His hair is blondish red; his eyes are blue. He’s slim and trim, a quite athletic guy! Cocksure is he and a boy through and through, who simply thinking happy thoughts, can fly! He’s full of fun and does things on a whim, this fellow known through all of Never Land. A boatload of adventure follows him. Now don’t you think his life is rather grand? He has a friend who goes by “Tinkerbell,” a fairy that can fit upon his hand, so loyal to him, he thinks that she is swell, and also he’s the leader of a band. . . . A band of boys, that is! This motley crew he hangs out with until they grow too old! There’s not too much their leader cannot do, and far and wide his exploits have been told. If I could be a boy, I’d take the name of Peter Pan, a boy both free and bold, enjoying adventure, fun, and fame, and best of all, I never would grow old!
Written by Andrea Dietrich For the "Disney" contest by Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S.

congrats on your win, a great write. thank you for commenting on 1960, no i am still a Republican for now, but will never go back to the dem. i don't believe in abortion or same sex marriages and a lot of the dem. do. what i met by November 22, 1963 was JFK died, so i could not vote for him in 1964. I turned Reb. in 1980 when Ron R. ran, i had always liked him. so shoot me. i still a nice guy, and if your a dem. i won't hold it agaights you,

If I could be a boy. I'd do things differently. I'd only do what's good for me. And never act so foolishly. But I'm a man, I'm all grown up. I drink from life what I've in my cup. The past is gone, the future's nigh. I will grow old and say goodbye. Good luck in the contest Andrea.

This made me all smiley, Andrea--yup I think being Peter Pan would suit you quite well! I do think we all have a bit of Peter Pan in all of us! Sure can't imagine if I lose that inner child ;) I really loved that you chose Peter Pan and that you wrote it in quatrain, I think your poem could be taken out of the context of the contest and still stand on its own, very cool! :D now which way to Neverland again? ;) hugs to you sweetie :D

Grand adventure indeed! Great choice for an entry and a well written poem. Good luck in the contest! P.S. Have you seen 'Hook'? Live action take on the classic with Robin Williams as Pan, one of my favorites.
