WISHING WELL

I wish I had a wishing well
I would cast a great big spell
I would send my worries away
And bring sunshine to brighten my day

I would ask for health and serenity
And a whole lot of trouble free money
I would want a nice pad
And i would buy all the latest fads
I would make myself jolly
By spending an excessive amount of money

I will not forget anyone
Especially the ones that upset me
Id help out a few mates
And those who come with a begging plate

I would no doubt attract a lot of envy
And may not be able to distance myself from infamy
I might even act silly
All because I have a lot of money

As I indulge in gluttony
And become more unfriendly
I may slowly begin to hope
That I never find this wishing well

It might be a noose around my swollen head
It might even cause me not to sleep
all ill ever do is count and count all that money
That i am sure will slowly but surely
Make me feel empty

A disastrous spell I think I would cast at this wishing well
I would only wreck my peaceful anonymity
I think i would lose my humanity
Despite all the money I’d give to charity

I think it is best
If I just continue as I am
Poor and just another somebody
And hope god plays me a better hand
To live life as best as I can
