I take flight into sleep
courtesy holding fictional little yellow bird,
a mutual (of Omaha) best friend of...

The defeated Pandrasus spoke out
his weary words weighted with wisdom. 
Linus is as Greek as I am Greek and as a Greek
let him inherit the crown, I'll name no other heir.

LXII+ years old and he still carries a security blanket

Move over Linus
Van Pelt of Peanuts fame,
cuz yours truly
also psychologically lame
since prepubescence

Loud laughed Pandrasus  Hear the mice roar 
yet stubborn Pandrasus swiftly gave chase

on Achelous's...

Linus sat complacent with his new blanket like a bum.
The old one was too holey; it gave no comfort like his thumb.
It would still wrap around him, but it lost its charm.
So he took another...

As welcome as “not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”

From a China berry tree
For being uppidy;

His heads always in a fog
Thinking of some fun new ways
