Roald Dahl (13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990 / Cardiff / Wales)
I Want It Now
Gooses, geeses
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way
I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
No, now
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons
And a million balloons
And performing baboons and
Give it to me now
I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it
All up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now
I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em
Like braids in my hair and
I don't want to share 'em
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream
I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes
And sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how, I want it now
Don't care how, I want it now

It reminds me of an awesome tantrum that every kid has at one time in life. Kids always have unrealistic wishes. Its part of being a kid. Dahl knows how to make me laugh LoL
bravo! awsome poem
Is it me or impulsive unrealistic desires make life 'unforgiving'. Roald Dahl, you're all wits
