Eyelash
You can make a wish when all
Your birthday candles blow.
Shooting stars and wishes are
Another way to go.
A coin tossed in a fountain
Or a wishbone split in two
Are other means that people have
To make a dream come true.
Many, though, are not aware
An eyelash is equipped
To intercept a wish, as well,
As soon as it has slipped.
A famous Seinfeld episode
Portrayed an eyelash war
Where Kramer’s buddy FDR
Kept eyelash-pulling score.
An eyelash wish, however,
Even used with overkill,
Stands the same chance as the others
To come true – and that is nil!
