that we could press, or turn, or twitch;
To pump it up; or make it lack;
Or shut if off, or bring it back;
Make it fast; or slow it down;

Change the color; or the sound;
Make it taller, wider, shorter;
Make it our way in short order;
Make it spin, or stretch, or pour;
Wonder what wed use it for?

Turn the sprinklers on a salesman?
Unlock cells and thwart the bailsman?
Inspire passion? Clean the sink?
Make us disappear, you think?

Would we put a sign on it:
so everyone could play with it?
(Or would we hide it well away
For fear of what the neighbors say)?

If we had a little switch;
that could scratch most any itch;
Wonder when we got the knack;
How fast wed want to switch things back?

Imagine if we all could do;
Everything we wanted to!
Wed need a global switch-off truce;
To curb excessive random use!

Then the police would come one day;
And take our little switch away!
Ending all our togging fun;
Alas, farewell, the tale is done!
