Gepetto's Turn
Pinnochio, Oh Pinnochio…
Your web of lies
Has stung me so.
Your warped and twisted nose
Just grows and grows and grows…
Lies tangle from your lips
Held snug by wooden grips
Til my mangled, broken heart,
Has strings now ripped apart.
Oh Pinnochio, Pinnochio,
I think you know
I loved you so
But you never were quite real,
Despite your desperate zeal.
"You have to grow a conscience…"
The Fairy Blue had said,
Until that day, Pinnochio-
You're never real…
But dead!
