I Wish...

You really want to vanish?

Well, I suppose we could do it the hard way-

You really want to do this?

Well, if nothing can convince you to stay….

Chase down a pixie

And steal its magic dust,

Steal some lucky horseshoes

And pray iron won’t rust,

Booby trap a leprechaun and demand some magic wishes,

Stalk the Salmon of Knowledge, and other magic fishes,

Summon up a fairy, and take its magic wand,

Or wish upon a falling star, and hope it will respond.

Nab a flashy-thingy from the M-I-B,

Hop a ride on a friendly kelpie,

Rub a magic lamp until it squeaks,

Go surfing with a joyful selkie,

Sneak into a magic circle when the fairies dance at night,

Play so well the faerie queen will whisk you out of sight,

Catch a lucky rabbit with a foot that’s still attached,

Or pull a shawl through a golden ring, for a lifelong match.

And when you’ve accomplished one of these

And can embrace freedom’s coup,

Please consider your one true love-

And take me along with you.
