Captain fantastic, invisible friend better than any old toy perfecting the practice of playing pretend with help from believing young boy braving the jungles beyond the backyard lions and tigers beware rocket ship riders without much regard peas in a pod were this pair constant companion, courageous and strong keeping the pirates at bay guarding the closet when shadows were long chasing the monsters away now that his boy has grown older the captains left behind banished off to a place much colder in the back of a busy man's mind captain fantastic, forgotten old friend gone is the child he had known all of the magic has come to an end and he just can't imagine alone |

I like your Captain Fantastic! ~ and the boy and the man that he has become! It would appear that your Captain Fantastic is nearer than you think! Totally delightful! Totally enjoyable! EA |

I like the jungles beyond the backyard. I'm afraid I never grew up. My Captain Fantastic is alive and kicking. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
