If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
if wishes were horses I’d ride a wild horse
a horse that no-one could tame
if wishes here fishes the world would be ocean
if wishes were birds we’d all fly away
no need for a wish would remain
wishes are made of notions, not potions
people have so many fantastic wishes
but still they prefer to run with the herd
I dream every night of thousands of horses
in my mind’s eye I see them all glide
from the east coast out to the west
but I can’t catch one stallion to ride
perhaps a mare would be best
but then I’d have nightmares
and wake in exhausted distress
how would you use a wish from a genie ?
I’d wish for more genies,
that’s just common sense
and I’d wish for more wishes of course
and then, yet again, I’d wish for a horse
but when will the magic commence?
simply wishing for something is casting wide nets
I haven’t caught anything yet
