Wishes

Wishes???
Once when my mother refused to buy me an ice cream
I sat on my desk and wished a wish
I wished I could get ice-cream everyday
For breakfast, dinner, lunch or any dish

Then suddenly a man appeared
And said, “Your wish will come true
Eating ice-creams all day long
That’s what you’ll always do”

And then he disappeared
Leaving me bewildered and in shock
So now, will I eat ice-creams everyday?
I mean that would totally rock

Then at breakfast time next day
I was served a plateful of ice-cream
This was so amazing
This was going like a dream!!

So then day after day
I ate ice-creams, for breakfast dinner and lunch
And sometimes
I took a little brunch

I ate and I ate and I ate and ate
Ice-creams all day long
I was happy for sometime
Singing my funny songs

But then soon I got bored
The chillness made me shiver
I had caught a cold and a tummy ache
And there was some problem with my liver

So next day I sat on my desk
And I wished a wish
I never want to see an ice cream again
I hate it more than fish!!!!

Soon my wish came true
And that was the last time I ever saw an ice-cream

The next day when my mom refused to buy a pizza
I sat down on my desk and wished a wish…
