that looks new,

and that looks new,

oh, and so does that,

that looks incredibly new,

maybe I can buy it,

or put it on my wish list,

then other people will know I want to buy it,

or they’ll buy it for me for my birthday,

or Christmas,

or the Fourth of July,

or perhaps if I’m having a bad day

and need a pick-me up,

they’ll look at my list of things that I want,

and they’ll get it for me,

but then I’ll need friends,

so then they’ll be on my wish list too
