shoggoth

Is there a word that replaces the phrase "to look forward to"? I really hate saying it. Anticipate almost does it, but one can anticipate a bad thing. The phrase means, though, to anticipate a good thing. I thought of combining anticipate with masturbate, something everyone looks forward to, but I couldn't get anyone to use the new word, anticurbate.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
                            In a beautiful pea-green boat:
                            They took some honey, and plenty of money
                            Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
                            The Owl looked up to the stars above,
                            And sang to a small guitar,
                            "O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
                            What a beautiful Pussy you are,
                            You are,
                            You are!
                            What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

                            Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl,
                            How charmingly sweet you sing!
                            Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:
                            But what shall we do for a ring?"
                            They sailed away, for a year and a day,
                            To the land where the bong-tree grows;
                            And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
                            With a ring at the end of his nose,
                            His nose,
                            His nose,
                            With a ring at the end of his nose.

                            "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
                            Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
                            So they took it away, and were married next day
                            By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
                            They dined on mince and slices of quince,
                            Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
                            And hand in hand on the edge of the sand
                            They danced by the light of the moon,
                            The moon,
                            The moon,
                            They danced by the light of the moon.
