Make a Wish
How to make a wish come true?
Do I have to blow out the birthday candle at just the right angle?
But can you make birthday cakes out of pate a choux?
Does it have to be a shooting star, or just one from a banner that’s spangled?
Or can I still wish on a rainbow, even if in the sky it barely dangled?
How to make a wish come true?
What if I threw a penny down a wishing well,
But there was no water to catch it and I never knew?
What if the clock struck 11:11, and I was still under this wish-making spell?
Who am I kidding, I’m skeptical of making wishes, can you tell?
