Peter Pan

Peter Pan.
I remember watching the play starring Mary Martin as Peter Pan when I was a just little tyke.
Every day, while eating SpaghettiOs, and with my soft yellow blanky,
Anita always popped in either the 1955 disney film of Peter Pan, or the later one which was taped with a live audience I believe in 1960.
Anita.
An older lady.
Her skin always soften as years had passed her.
She was never just a babysitter to me.
She was Anita.
Anita was there when I came home from school.
Anita was there every day I didn't want to go to school.
Anita was there when I was sick.
Peter Pan.
I sit and watch the latest Peter Pan film, and the excitement isn't the same.
Where are my spaghettiOs?
Where is my yellow blanky?
Where is Anita?
