Careful What You Wish For

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

This is a work of plain fiction. However sometimes I think we all need a reminder that can help us appreciate those slow days when we have absolutely nothing to do. This is my reminder to myself. It could happen you know. :)

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

 

It was one of those days
that was moving sluggishly along,
it made me think to myself
'PLEASE why can't something, anything go on'.

Five minutes later all hell broke loose
my car broke down while going to the store
I got it started and shortly thereafter  crashed it into a moose
by now I was pleading PLEASE NO MORE.

Careful what you wish for
it might just come true
Careful what you wish for
or  hell might break loose on you.

As I was waiting for the tow truck
with my head in a spin
I was feeling kind of down on my luck
that's when I realised I did win.

I made a wish and it came true
allthough not how I wanted
Cause now I'm feeling blue
oh how I wish my wish hadn't been granted.

Careful what you wish for
it might just come true
Careful what you wish for
or hell might break loose on you.

I've had quite a few of those days, Elisabeth, 'sluggish' and nothing going on and then...but I'm relieved I didn't run into anything or anyone...I hear you clearly here.
