Wishes and Wants

Originally published in "Lines and Shadows" May 1979
I wish by day, I wish by night
I wish for things that please my sight

But the one thing that I want than all of the rest
Is something I think will be one of the best

Something important, or something neat
Or something I can do that's really really sweet

I can wish for anything! That's really some choice
Too bad I won't get anything at the command of my voice
