Poem
When I was only ten years old I stumbled across a wishing well "What?, It could happen" Now hush, I have a story to tell Anyway, I was only ten years old And saw this thing sticking out of the ground "Now remember?, I'm only ten years old" So I just had to see what I had found So I ever so carefully approached it "Did I mention How fast I could run?" "Most people run because they have too But see I only run for fun" "Sorry, sometimes I get carried away" Anyway, I saw it was a well for wishin' And I wished I'd brought my fishin pole So I could have done some fishin' When out of the blue, a puff of smoke "Now, cigarettes is hazardous your health, So I not talking about that kind of smoke, But the Genie kind that brings you wealth" Now I couldn't hardly believe my eyes From out of no where, it just appeared For laying on the ground beside me Was my fishing pole and all my gear I knew right then without a doubt That I'd found me quite a treasure The only thing left to decide Was to use it for harm or for pleasure Now there was a lady who lived next door Who would always fuss and complain She'd never give back my baseball And she caused me so much pain So I wished the lady was fat and ugly And as hidieous as could be I didn't think of the consenquences I mean, what would it matter to me Well the years flew by and I met this girl I'm telling you, there wasn't anyone hotter I'm sure you've figured it out by now I married that ugly lady's daughter Well that's the story of the wishing well And everything I told you is true That ugly old hag is my mother-in-law I'm not laughing so neither can you
