As you wish

 I

I keep coming back to Wesley saying to Buttercup, “As you wish”, 
“you can't please everyone, So you got to please yourself”, “as you wish”

Some folks make claims without providing evidence, others 
Insist on diverting discussion from the main topic, “as you wish”

“How sweet the sound, I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see”, yet they proclaim errors “as you wish”

Some folks spend a few hours on a spreadsheet and come off
As ‘experts’ when they are likely far from the truth “as you wish”

“You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em”
Always remember the face of your father, “as you wish” 

Some folks claim lack of info, mismanagement, lack of transparency 
Yet hide behind ‘anonymous‘ identity shields “as you wish”

“Just gotta thank my lucky stars tonight … gonna fake it 'til I make it right” 
Your “no” vote disables the 3rd ambulance, “as you wish”

“But now it's just another show, You leave 'em laughing when you go” 
And your “no” vote reduces our police force, “as you wish”

“You're so vain, You probably think this song is about you”
And your “no” vote cuts about 15 teachers, “as you wish”

“The shortest path between two points is still a crooked line”
And your “no” vote keeps bus and sports fees high, “as you wish”

"I am ... I said to no one there, and no one heard at all”
And your “no” vote jeopardizes library & senior center services, “as you wish”

“Don’t wait up – leave the light on, I’ll be home soon”
Horace needs to rise, restore some imagination to us all, “as you wish”

So Sherlock, as “a working man in your prime cleaning windows…”
How well are you getting by saying “as you wish”
