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
I want the world I want the whole world I want to lock it All up in my pocket ~ very interesting lines... a delight to read... Being aware of one’s selfhood and being self-centred is a sweet sign of growth that most of us are unwilling to grow out of... “ milk for children, honey for adults” :)
Definitely sounded like a child with all the eagerness, joy-in-the-moment, raging cravings with no thought about patiently waiting what's the fun of that- -tis both the charm of children and the annoyance of them- he understands them well
This poem carries eagerness, effort, joy and the moment of feelings. This is an amazing poem for kids but very interesting.

Is it me or impulsive unrealistic desires make life 'unforgiving'. Roald Dahl, you're all wits
