Make a Wish
Timmy was distraught, he thought that he was late for school
He’d lost his phone, so of the time, he had no clue at all
Teacher stooped and when she stood, she held a dandelion
There’s other things than watches, clocks and phones you can rely on
The weed was past it’s flower and was now a fairy blowball
With this you tell the time or make a wish, but not a phone call
You count each time you blow it and you’ll see what time it is
But if you want to make a wish try blowing it a kiss
Timmy took the weed and said should I be f***ing puffing
Teacher said don’t use that word in future please say ‘chuffing’
Timmy blew the fairy ball just once and it was bare
But he’d left home at eight-fifteen and it’s not far from there
Teacher said that’s just one puff, but did you make a wish
Yes Miss, he said, I wished I knew what chuffing time it is
