Wendy, Darling

Wendy, Darling
	Was a wretched little wench
	With a flask of whiskey
	Clasped in her fist
	And took to a swigging
	More often
	Than the lost boys ever knew

Wendy, Darling
	Was a surrogate mother
	Who despised the reckless actions
	Of such a crew
	And it was mostly Peter
	To whom she cursed
 
nasty, dirty, stupid
boys
lost in neverland
forever
engaged in rambunctious
ploys
 
Wendy, Darling
	Decided she'd had enough
	Building a great bonfire
	With all their stuff
	
Leaving the lost
	To weep, sob and moan; for

Wendy, Darling
	Simply smiled whilst swallowing
	A swig; and
	With her last ounce
	
	Flew out of there

Ah yes I know this wench. Cruel and vindictive, such a bitch. Perfect symmetry in the style. I think I'll have a swig and see if I can't find Wendy... ~Kilmer

funny you mention bitch, as i am working on a blog right now. the thesis "bitches everywhere for years have been getting a bad rap in the name of what could be argued as people really having a case of 'princess syndrome'. " ~Salud ;)
