Washed upon a desert island.
Who would I take?
Who would I wish for if I had
a wish to make?

I wouldn’t waste a wish on friends.
Why get them stuck too?
How about a phone or boat
for a quick rescue?

My point? This is a stupid game
that puts our friends in danger.
But if I had to name someone,
I’d rather name a stranger.
