I wish today,
In an elaborate way.
That I won't have to join the fray.
I wish today,
In a similar way,
For a larger spiritual bouqet.
I wish today,
In a simpler way,
That I could just play.
I wish today,
That everyday,
Was Saint Valentine's Day.
I wish today,
Without delay,
For an absence of painful cliche.
I wish today,
So please obey,
For no one to care how much they weigh.
I wish today,
Like a needle in hay,
That every day's skies were grey.
I wish today,
Though I do not pay,
For everyone to be happy and gay.
I wish today,
If I hold sway,
To see the way.
I wish today,
If I may,
That everyone would stay,
And no one would betray.
And hey,
If they,
Say they'll stray,
Then in dismay,
I'll put them on display,
Of what happens when you run away.
