maybe it won't turn out to be
the first thing you wished
on the second best star in the Heavens
still it may be better than real butter
on scraped toast
than learning you didn't flunk math after all
just, almost=
or botch the experiment taking too many notes
so that you have to do it all over again
the day before Christmas vacation ends
so what if you get the green coach and not the red
the sparkly ribbon and not the scarf instead
be thankfull look at the snow moon after awhile and sigh
be glad you're not the sun in the summer sky.
