Analysis of Algernon, adieu
The scent of cheddar pulled me.
It pulled me to its warm caress.
There was surely haven beyond those walls.
Cool grass, and warm friendship awaits.
A brilliant light suddenly appeared.
The Great Hand guided my life.
The Great Hand truly loves me.
I will live to praise (forever)!
I was born Algernon.
I will forever be Algernon, the mouse in the maze.
