Granted, but you have forgotten to mark the box 'no publicity' so you have a team of reporters moving in with you, begging letters by the sackful every day and your nearest and dearest can't bear it and leave the house for ever.
I wish I had won the lotto and marked the box 'no publicity'.
Granted, but your family finds out and informs all your friends and pretty soon it's all over the neighbourhood and before you know it, the tv and radio stations finds out, and they publish your address in the paper and everyone is on your doorstep with a sob story. You slowly go mad and jump off your roof in the middle of the night. And die.
I wish someone would make me a beautiful breakfast, just once!
Granted, it's exquisite to look at but is unfortunately molded out of plastic.
I wish our gorgeous summer weather would last throughout the year!
Granted, but you slipped on the deck of your sailboat and broke your femur and are stuck in bed with your leg in traction.
I wish I could move away from my pesky neighbor and move into a beautiful house overlooking the ocean with a pool and a beautiful cabana boy
Granted, but the beautiful boy soon becomes your plaything and because he's underage, you get charged and convicted of child molestation and you wind up in Sing-Sing for 25 years to life.
I wish I had a new car.
Granted, but it turns out to be the gas guzzler of all time.
I wish all my Netflix movies would turn out to be great ones.
Granted, but your DVD player just broke.
I wish I never had to do yard work.
Your wish is my command. But now your yard works you, ironic, that your still its slave.
I wish for more popularity.
Granted. You are popular and people vote for you. But your name is George W Bush and your popularity is on the wane.
I wish I could afford a new Audi.
Granted, but after buying it you crash the car on your first drive with it.
I wish for my own tuba.
Granted, but now you have to spend the rest of your life playing John Philip Sousa tunes with a marching band.
I wish flying on planes could go back to being fun again.
Granted, but the cost is through the roof and it is impossible for you to fly.
I wish the war was over.
Granted. the Iraq War is over, but a new war erupts between Iran and Israel; you realise war is endemic in mankind and resolve to kill yourself.
I wish good whisky was cheaper.
Granted now everyone at any given moment in time can buy good whisky at a cheaper price but grain is far more expensive for the average grocer.
I wish .....I was .....far more intelligent.

I wish I could be more artistict.

i wish i had a lepracorn
Granted, but it is a homicidal leprechaun armed with a small leprechaun-type gun!
I wish for lovely cold weather again, so that I can use my hot water bottle.
Grnted, but the first night you use it, the bottle splits and you end up wet and very cross.
I wish my job took me to Australia for their summer.
Granted, but a fatal epidemic breaks out there.
I wish I was better at meeting new people.
