I would wake up early, dear cousin
To bid the moon and stars goodnight
If wishes were but a dime a dozen
I have all morn to mope just right

I would tell that nether denizen
To stop pouncing on my mind today
If wishes were just a dime a dozen
I won’t from my chosen path stray

I would in my thoughts be brazen
And in my words be purposely daft
If wishes were all a dime a dozen
I will do so with practiced craft

I would in a coat of arms emblazon
My very own brand of stylish humor
If wishes were still a dime a dozen
I won’t be swayed by a silly rumor

I would at days end then, my cousin
Be truly brave and shed no tears
If wishes were not a dime a dozen
I have all night, to curb my fears
