Three Wishes (A Poem)
Three Wishes, Granny
An old lady is rocking on her porch
Chewing baccy and drinking beers
While reflecting on her life,
A fairy godmother appears
And says she can have three wishes.
Says the old lady," if I may be so bold
I'd like to be really stinking rich."
***POOF****
Her chair turns to solid gold.
She says, I'd like to be young again
And pretty, with poise, finesse
***POOF***
In less than it takes to blink an eye
She's a beautiful princess
While considering her third wish
The old woman's cat wanders in
Ooh...can you change him into a prince?"
All handsome tall and thin
***POOF***
There before her stands an Adonis
Where once was her kitten
More handsome than she could have imagined.
She stares, all coy and... smitten
With a smile that makes her knees weak.
And with breath, decidedly bated
He whispers "Now I bet you're regretting
You had me neutered... snipped...castrated!!
