Wishes – Unknown

I wish I were an emperor
With subjects of my own
And sat in royal robes upon
A splendid golden throne.

I wish I were a Muffin Man,
And rang a muffin bell,
And every day for tea I’d have
The ones I didn’t sell.

I wish I were a Pirate Chief,
And sailed the stormy sea,
With lace and earrings and a sword
As fine as I could be.

I wish I were a Railway Guard,
With bright green flag to wave,
Watching the people catch their train
By such a narrow shave!
