Franklin Pierce Adams

A Wish

(An Apartmental Ditty.)
 
Mine be a flat beside the Hill;
 A vendor’s cry shall soothe my ear
A landlord shall present his bill
 At least a dozen times a year.
 
The tenor, oft, below my flat,
 Shall practise 'Violets’ and such;
And in the area a cat
 Shall beat the band, the cars, and Dutch.
 
Around the neighbourhood shall be
 About a hundred thousand kids;
And, eke in that vicinitee,
 Ten pianolas without lids.
 
And mornings, I suppose, by gosh,
 I’ll be awakened prompt at seven,
By ladies hanging up the wash
 Only a mile or so from heaven.
