Wishing Well

And the wishing well was broken, yeah...
But it didn't stop my wish from being made.
Didn't stop my penny from being dropped.
The copper still shined in the sun.
It didn't need water for that.

God's not gonna see the penny,
Hear the wish, and go,
"Oh, I should get on that!" anyway.
I don't believe in that, at least.

So I walk back next day and see the fountain filled with water.
No penny though.
The water bounced as the liquid from the top
Of the fountain fell to the base. I looked up,
No Penny.

And i assume someone just stole it,
but hell, I don't know. Maybe it was rejected.
Maybe unwatered fountains don't accept coins.
Like an "Out of Business" type of thing. Maybe I'll just try
A dandelion next time.
