MY WISH 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I want to live and not to die! 
I want to laugh and not to cry !
I want to feel the summer sun.
I want to sing when life is fun.
I want to fly into the blue. 
I want to swim as fishes do. 
I want to stretch out my friendly hands 
To all the young of other lands.
I want to laugh, and not to cry!
I want to live, and not to die! 
 
 
 
 
AFTER THE PARTY 
 
 
Jonathan Blake ate too much cake. 
He isn’t himself today; 
He’s tucked up in bed 
With a feverish head, 
And he doesn’t much care to play. 
Jonathan Blake ate too much cake 
And three kinds of ice-cream too 
From the latest reports 
He’s quite out of sorts, 
I’m sure his reports are true. 
THE DOCTOR 
 
 
When I am ill I go to bed
And on the pillow lay my head.
The doctor comes around and says: 
“Dear me. Whatever can the matter be?” 
He feels my pulse and sees my tongue. 
He tests my heart and then each lung.
He asks how old I am and then,
He takes his paper and his pen,
And makes the note of things that taste 
So horrid that I’m sure it’s waste 
To take them. But he says: “Each noon 
Take this and you’ll be better soon.”
