Wish I had not weaned to behold
Wish I had powers to mould
Or bold enough to behold
In history would I intervene
And help it rewrite the scene
From books would I take away ink
And ink them again to better the scene
I would side with Priam
And have him rule with love
I would drive away from the beast
And perch the dove
I would take away powers from Achilles
Lend strength to Hector he wouldn't bow
I would return Princess to Achilles
To make no row
I would have Faustus ask for more
Would have Mephistopheles all that ignore
I would have Arthur take back Hester
Have Hester take off that did glister
I would have encouraged Cathy Heathcliff love
And taken it to new heights above
For Romeo and Juliet, I would arrange a tryst
And conceal the affair with the shroud of mist
I would play the flute to please their ears
But what is all this worth?
If I don't get love from my dears
