The lost boys wander Treasure Island.

Captain Hook goes on patrol.

Sophomoric Indians roam the chalked fields,

While unprincipled pirates are outnumbered by us lost boys.

We lose a few every year.

Forced to leave the island.

They have to grow up.

Some days, I want to leave.

But other times I’d rather endure Captain and his misfits.
