Granted, and you're alone in a library with books that will last your brain for years.

But your glasses fall off, and now you can't read anything:

"That's not fair. That's not fair at all.
There was time, now. There was all the time I needed...!
That's not fair!"


(for all you Twilight Zone fans)

I wish I had a nice pavlova.

Granted, but since I don't know what a pavlova is, when I go to the wish store to buy it for you, I end up getting the wrong thing. Sorry. I should have used Google.

I wish for better eyesight.

Granted. Your eye sight is slightly better, but still far from good.

Thank you, Murihiku! I love Twilight Zone so much I have it on DVD, so I liked that.


I wish I wasn't such a pyromaniac.

Granted, on the day that gorgeous fireworks technician finally calls you back.



I wish I did not relate to that so well.

granted- you are now void of relating to anything, alone you walk the world anew

I wish I could find a good painting job?

Granted, but your clients want their nails painted blood red ... with your blood.

I wish I were a skilled archer.

Wish granted, but the minute that an arrow flies from your bow, it turns into a strand of cooked spaghetti.

I wish for a nice new pair of glasses.

Wish granted, but then it focuses your vision on everyone's not so flattering physical flaws.

I wish I had a beer.

Granted. Already you can hear hoots and laughter in the street as the mob builds, your neighbors and acquaintances suffused with transcendent joy as they run, gleefully smashing windows, setting fires, and pelting each other with debris. As they begin to pound on your door, you smile in anticipation, and turn the handle...


As for me, I'd say happiness is overrated. I wish rationality were the norm.

Granted, everyone is now rational...but that means kids are now bored because they can no longer wish on stars, put teeth under their pillow for tooth fairy, or play pretend.

I wish that there was something good to watch on TV tonight.

Granted. There is a TV test pattern.

I wish I could jump up 10 feet.

Granted. You sign on for the Olympics but get disqualified because of failing drug tests.

I wish I could swim like Michael Phelps.

Granted. However, you swim so well that you are mistaken for a fish and someone reels you in.

I wish I could take karate again.
