As history's rewritten by the whiners
to fit into a perishable mold,
ostensibly to benefit the minors
who Peter Pan like, aren't growing old --
except that Peter Pan must be rewritten,
its sense and sensibility offend,
so those that are twice shy though never bitten
can be assured, when skipping to the end,
the nasty alligator is a vegan,
and time does not expire for Captain Hook,
whose pistol, it turns out, was just a pea gun.
In summary, a safer, better book.
Will history, revisited, repeat?
Rewritten, it is always incomplete.
