Book of Brilliant Things

It'll teach you how to grow
Your very own pocket rainbow
The formula for heartbreak glue
Love potion, and how to brew
How to bottle sunshines rays
To illuminate the darkest days
The way to converse with a ghost
Successfully, unlike most
To feel a colour, see a sound
Pull hope by its roots from underground
And how to catch a falling star
To keep it safely, in a jar
Of course these contents are not real
But they may improve the way you feel
It comes for free, no need to pay
Add to your own book every day...

Inspired by, and title from Simple Minds - Book of Brilliant Things

The water in the pond next door sounds like giants urinating. The aeroplanes flying by sounds like goblins cheering on football matches.

Pill

I think, today, I will. Invent a magic pill. Once it is taken. There'll be endless bacon. And tea for us to swill. It comes in packets of two. One for me and one for you. You just have to wish.
