Probably not Whitworth as there are no initial caps. I like the poem as much as if it were a Whitworth, though. If I may nitpick, the statue may be bronze in material but is actually covered in the green patina more frequently seen on copper; it matters because small bronze boy suggests a different, non-green color -- and this matters because Peter Pan is always seen in green, yet the green patina occurs only on older objects, so the irony is lost if the reader is not imagining green.
