A wish sent high,
a wish sent far.
A cloudy night,
a single star.
And then the scare;
no hope of prosper:
The wish set square
on a helicopter.
(Explanation: In August 2018, there were a couple of days when meteor showers could be seen in the sky. We were unfortunate in that we told the children there were going to be meteor showers only to have them staring at cloudy skies. Convinced they had wished on what they thought to be a shooting star they were devastated when their dad told them that it looked more like a helicopter than a star).
