A Wishing Well

Today, I found a wishing well Made for someone who wishes well And those who are well wishers And those with dreams to tell The cost is just a penny Only a penny for your thoughts! And if you have no penny Your wish will be for not Some might try to cheat the well By throwing rocks or sticks But, what good is a wish to those Who're willing to cheat for it? So, I threw in a nickel Just for some extra luck And made a wish just big enough The well could draw it up And of course, my wish was granted I found my way back home But I wish I had wished bigger 'Cause where that well is, I don't know
