Dear God please grant me
A few small wishes
I love to eat puddings and
Other tasty dishes
I want to fly with birds
In the sky so blue and clear like glass
But we humans on earth are bored
And jealous that we are down-class
I want to be a baby again
To get love and nice cuddles
And in monsoon get permission like other kids
To splash water in puddles
But I sometimes want to be an adult
So I can boss youngsters around
I can do things in peace
And in the house there won’t be much sound
Oh God, please you can at least grant
One as these wishes is not tough
And if (hope not) you can’t grant any
A good night’s sleep is enough.
