wish


by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"


i wish i was a kitten
sitting in a tree
wearing a green tuxedo
for all the world to see

i wish i was a goldfish
swimming in a bowl
everyone could look at me
but i would have my soul

i wish i was a turtle
wandering in the road
snakes and dogs would pass me by
but i’d be true to my code

i wish i was an apple pie
on a windowsill
baked by old mrs johnson
and stolen by old bill

i wish i was a wise man
in a purple bubble of soap
the world would burst around me
but i would not lose hope

i wish i was a bullfrog
on the emperor’s lawn
he would send his dragon to get me
but i would be long gone
