And your cold blood boils in me 
Like a volcanic eruption,

What would long John silver say?
About our current strife?
How about Mr Bumble?
Would he just moan to his wife?
What about young Oliver?

Or What of Hero, Harry?
Just Complain to Dumbledore?
What of traveller Gulliver?

That I can remember the names of my pets

I do not know what work there is as many feel

Often times involving in shipwreck- 
Or becoming prisoner of the Lilliputians of life.

Getting marooned on an island called strife.

Catching the embers
In my hand

Chanting the spells
And twirling my wand
Playing dirty quiditch
All around my lawn

When gulliver couldn't...

His coattails brush the leafy shine
