Wishing Well

The loneliest boy on the east side of town
writes a note to the one he adores
the loveliest girl on the west side, she frowns
at every word, she’s convinced he’s a bore
but he tells himself, he should not give in
even though she’s ignoring him
because love is blind
he doesn’t mind
if she’s broken bones
with her heart of stone
still he’s wondering now
if his luck ran out
that day he fell
into the wishing well
the loneliest boy at the funfair in town
showing off in a blue bumper car
the loveliest girl on the merry-go-round
makes his head spin, he crashes his heart
