Notes About The Poem

There's a Presidential election brewing in the USA.  Thought I'd give the candidates a head start on fulfilling my wish list...

My Wish List

Dear Mr. / Ms. Presidential Candidate
A preliminary wish list, I hereby state...

Dogs that do not bark
Coastal beaches without sharks

Skunks that have no smell
Adults who never yell

Blue skies, never overcast
Perfect Spring days that last

Airplane seats with lots of room
Sermons without gloom and doom

Desserts without calories
A big increase in salaries

Year-round gentle breezes
No more coughs or sneezes

No more gun deaths, no more shootings
An end to all environmental polluting

Summer camp instead of school
In every park a swimming pool

Potatoes that don't need peeling
Love without hurt feelings

Wasps and hornets without stingers
Kisses that forever linger…

If anything here gives you pause
I'll just have to vote for Santa Claus

Great. Let's go!... I know that I always used to feel that school should be 2 months and camp 10 months. Would have learned a lot more that way, at least back in my day... Smiles, Gershon
