On the whole,
Not a half-bad day on the
Other side of the rainbow,
Out past Neverwhere...
Snoopy and Rackety-Coon Child
Curled up at King Aroo's feet,
Rolling in furry hysterics
As he outlandishly voices
Last Sunday's "Little Flower";
The round-headed kid staring
In utter devotion at the Princess
From the Kingdom Next Door,
Joined in adulation by
The little red-headed girl;
Lucy, Albert, and Yup-Yop gabbling
With their heads together over the
Small dark Pigpen cloud near where
Sparky's trying to convince Walt and
Jack that something's gone wrong if
He's been allowed in here.
Walt's been threatening to call out
Ken and the Little Green Deer as
Classic counter-example, but
As usual, it's Ol' Porky who sets
The old grey heart to beating again:
"No, Sparky. You're here because you
Convinced a gazillion kids that
Everyone's really too much everybody
Everywhere. We've met you, Charles,
And you're part of us."
