Dear Make A Wish Foundation of New Jersey

Hello and how are you?

My name is Kimberly Levaco

Please see the attached documentation

Informing you of my condition

And life expectancy

Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Anyway

It seems like I meet all your qualifications, so

Lucky me!

I see on the form that you ask for

Three wishes!

You're like a genie

Three wishes!

Except you're only going to grant one of them

Frowny face

I bet you pick whatever's cheapest

Ha-ha

Smiley face

What are you doing?

Alright

First wish

I wanna be a model for a day

A famous fashion muse

In a black Dior cocktail dress

And a pair of Jimmy Choos

I'll run from paparazzi

And throw some diva fits

Then hurry to a photoshoot

With Annie Leibovitz

Everyone will stare at me

But not in the usual way

They'll say that I am beautiful

They'll say that I am beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

For a day

For a day

Wish number two

Oh! I wanna take a fancy cruise

On a swanky charter yacht

With 50 of my closest friends

A jaunt to Montserrat

Far from Jersey power lines

Far from Newark Bay

We'll go somewhere that's beautiful

We'll go somewhere that's beautiful

For a day

Third wish

Don't wanna waste it

I could wish for anything

What about a tree house?

I always wanted a tree house

No, think big!

They'll get me anything

Think big, Kimmy!

I'd like a pet of some kind

Maybe a monkey

Who wouldn't want a monkey?

I want a hang light

I wanna clog dance

I wanna swim at the bottom of a waterfall

I want a butler who's a robot

How about a hyperbaric chamber?

Or a bodyguard?

Or stilts?

I wanna walk on stilts

I wanna bungee jump in Sweden

I wanna go to China

And New Zealand

And Saint Louis!

I wanna jet ski

I want piranha

In a fish tank

Piranha in a really big fish tank!

I want a simple home-cooked meal

A table set for three

A wispy paper napkin

Resting on my knee

He'll chuckle at her jokes

She'll fill his water glass

They'll ask me how my day was

I'll mention science class

We'll end with cherry cheesecake

And a little Mel Tormé

We'll live like normal people live

However normal people live

For a day

For a day

For a day!

Wish number three

A tree house

Thank you for your consideration

Kimberly Levaco

Smiley face!
