Wishing So Well

Every once in a while some thoughts pop into my head. And when they come out again, they take the form of a rhyme.

I wish someone had told me
That blue birds weren’t really blue.
It would have been a funny thing,
Even though it isn’t true.

I wish someone had told me
That bobcats were all named Steve.
It would have been a silly thought,
Even though it’s make believe.

I wish someone had told me
That horseshoes were found out dogs.
It would have been so comical,
Like a day dream in a fog.

I wish someone had told me
That catfish liked to purr.
It would have been hilarious,
Though fantasy for sure.

I wish someone had told me
That imagination lasted all day.
Then I would not need to wake up
And see my visions float away.
