The curse

Am I happy? Yes, I am!
I’ve got anything I aim!
So, of course, I also have
Some more wishes, hopes to claim!

Doesn’t matter, but I might
I remember still that night:
Sea was kind and I was blind
To everything that came to mind,
The only I could find around
Was the deep-deep sky, the sight
Of waves and stars, so close and bright.

Suddenly a friend of mine
Recognized a special sign,
Told me that I had a chance
To obtain my happiness,
That I had to make a wish
To come true: ask Golden Fish!

My head was empty-I was full,
At once I felt that she was cruel…
‘ I’ve got everything!’ I claimed,
‘ I’m giving it to you, my friend!’
She refused: it wasn’t her,
Though she really wanted more.
Then I said, ‘ I’ll leave it here,
To the shore, which is so dear!’

Don’t believe me! I’ve told lie!
As you see I’m not so high!
Clear free energy’s so rare,
And I couldn’t stand and stare!
Maybe, baby, it’s my curse,
But this I sent to Universe!
