DAY DREAMS
I’d like to write enough to use
Words dancing in my head,
With all the things I have to say –
said.
I’d like to have a million bucks,
And spend it as I thought,
With all the things I’ve wished to buy –
bought.
I wish that all delicious food
Would not increase my weight,
With all the things I like to eat –
ate.
I wish there was a tape somewhere
When my guitar’s re-strung,
With all the songs I love to sing –
sung.
I’d like to break old habits now,
Of writing-trends I’ve kept,
With all the missing hours of sleep –
slept.
If I could satisfy my dreams,
I hope I would not gloat,
With all the things I wish to write –
wrote.
