A Christmas Wish is not something to laugh about,
But on that wish make sure there isn’t any doubt.
It must be just as strong as any wish you’ve made—
With all your mustered fervency—to make the grade.
Each wish or prayer you make is graded in its worth,
In fact, it has been that way ever since your birth.
But now you must accept your spiritual side, and learn
Most everything that happens to you, you will earn.
So Christmas Wishes, duly measured, are a breed
Which carry far more weight than in a normal need.
