He wants it all,
every speck of savings,
counted out in pennies.
“I’m touring the world,
one fountain the next,
until I run out of wishes.”
Sorry Daily Prompt,Daily Prompt, but I don’t seem to be able to remember any of those wishes that I made.

You’re not the only one that forgot what they wished for after tossing pennies into the fountain.
Hmmm…I wonder if any of them came true?
I wonder that as well, but then I get frustrated that I can’t remember and just shrug it off. They were probably quite trivial like “I hope I get a good grade on this essay” and other such stuff that just requires working at.
