I would like to be rich when I'm poor.
I would like to have less when there's more.
When my hair's straight I wish it were curly.
When it's late, then I wish it were early.
If days seem long I wish they were shorter.
If a dollar, I wish it a quarter.
If the day's short I wish it were longer.
If time's short then I need time to ponder.
I wish that some guests would just disappear.
When they're gone then I wish that they were still here.
And so from day in to day out,
I can find dozens of reasons to pout.
But I find that it's nicer by far,
If I can like things just how they are.
