Pure Whimsy

From "Chicken"

Have you ever sat upon a snake and drank the syrup from a lilypad

Then hopped upon the windmills from the shoulders of a golden daffydillypad

And have you ever slumbered afternoon dew

A game of hide the mushroom, then the mushroom finds you!

Just hum the ancient tune and we'll float you through

Have you ever twisted down the river in the hollow of a hollylog

Or dangled crumbled crumpets in the brook to help you catch a silver pollywog

And have you ever wondered why the acorn shines so

It's polished in the garden where the bumblepots grow!

A thistle on your brow, and away you go!

And away you go

And yet, you have not left the place where you now stand

A child no more,

A thousand voices call your name from all around you,

Take not but what you cherish most,

For your worldly possessions have no meaning here

They will be of no use to you on your journey

And soon, you too will discover

The things are not always what they seem in the land of Pure Whimsy!
