We have none. What you want, what you are seeking
In books and from that cave inside the pit,
We don’t have that. What you have not pursued
Over the river and through the woods, we stock,
And we can locate what you‘d rather not.
We do not stock elixirs, though. Heart’s-ease
Is unavailable this time of year.
The talking mirror set, with comic brush,
We just ran out, whenever you came in.
Riches that do not callous the heart, those beans
That everybody wants? Nobody has.
A second chance? A second second chance?
You could ask for the moon. The moon we’ve got.
It comes in sizes—young and growing old.
