Beautiful dreamer! Bold Little Hawk!
Dream-like the world of which you often talk!
Gibbons in Treasury, chimpanzees too,
Hamsters and Shatner--and none of it true!!

Beautiful dreamer!! Young Hawk so bold!
Is it that real life has proven too cold?
Frenzies of fancy, with dramas, and strife!
Little Hawk, please, won't you go get a life!!?

Chimps in the WHite House, drunkards in jail,
Fat lazy actors with faces grown pale.
Wonderland fancies, vivid and fine,
Not what you want in an untethered mind.

Little Hawk, Little Hawk, come down to earth,
Tune up your instrument, show us your worth,
Write a great novel, that makes us to feel,
At least one of your playmates will turn out to be real.
