Imagination

I’ve watched E.T twice and it didn’t make me cry,
Because I know there’s no aliens in the sky.
How is king kong scary when he doesn’t exist,
Pixies and gnomes are next on my list.
Dracula got killed with a stake through the heart,
Skeletor should do the same to He-man because he’s a tart.
Looking at medusa won’t turn you to stone,
And you can’t talk to god with a mobile phone.
Alice isn’t in wonderland with an invisible cat,
Mario isn’t on a diet because he’s too fat.
Batfink and Karate can’t send out a beep,
There’s no voyage to the centre of the earth because it’s too deep.
There is no green man or talking car,
No Darth Vader to build a death star.
Mary Pippins can’t tidy her house,
Because in the skies there is no danger mouse.
There is no zebbide or the magic roundabout,
And Norman Bates has been found out.
There’s no cow pie for Desperate Dan,
and Eric can’t turn into Banana man.
Where is Jamie and his magic tourch,
And I’ve never seen Peter Pan on my porch.
If ghosts are not real then where’s Scoopydoo,
He’s waiting with Shaggy in the dole queue.
There is no button that is a moon,
Just shoddy looking puppet called Mr Spoon
Bigfoot is a man in a gorilla suit,
And there is no Zeus, Hades or magic flute
Dinosaurs are dead well so I’m told,
Because the countries moved apart and they got too cold.
The moon landing was fake and Roswell is fiction,
You really should get a patch for Star Trek addiction.
There’s no Dalorian for Marty Mcfly,
Because time doesn’t go backwards no matter how hard you try.
There’s no Predator and Ripley’s asleep,
No dragon with gold for Bilbo to keep.
There’s no planet full of apes,
No Outlook hotel where no one escapes.
No clockwork Orange all in white,
and no Starscream for Megatron to fight.
The world would be boring if imagination was dead,
But why live in the world when you can live in your head.
