Shooting Star


Do not wish upon a shooting star

It's too busy chasing its own tail

Disappearing before going far


Like its paper counterparts in a jar

It will let you down without fail

Do not wish upon a shooting star 


Chewing on a Milky Way Bar

On this stale life you'd like to bail

Disappearing before going far


No one seems to care who you are

All you ever receive is junk mail

Do not wish upon a shooting star 


Your reputation is without mar

Yet you envy even those in jail

Disappearing before going far 


Believe me, you are up to par

To a glittery future you will sail

Do not wish upon a shooting star 

Disappearing before going far
