The Statue



The Statue

“The little less 
and how much
it is”—James R. Barrie
“Peter Pan” directions
_______________________

Peter grows up—
But the Peter Pan statue
Stays just the same

Never pinched—
Or short of money
In this Land of Queens

A most ordinary—
Manner & naturalness
Must be portrayed

No extravagance—
No theatric mannerisms
No overplaying unnaturally

No matter how queer—
The Statue letting Peter 
Speak for himself
