Who remembers the fate of Jiminy Cricket?

No,
  not from the house of mouse

Look back to the original story
   and lose some of the childhood's luster

An example of the difference
  one between my childhood
    and the children today

Told at an early age
  story of a puppet who wanted to be a real boy

With a throw of a hammer
  I feel he achieved his desire

Promptly bypassing his own blame

Not quite what was seen on the screen

Like so many stories

Made to sooth
  rather than teach
