Dreamy Jeannie

Major Nelson was Jeannie's dreamy man
"Yes, Master," - his wishes, part of her plan
If by blinking eyes
Gals could fix their guys
Then this gal is a Jeannie superfan!

Hello Michelle … it was a great show, and all through blinking eyes as the main character. Well done Michelle - Lindsay

She could only manipulate with her blinks but in the end she wanted to win his true love!

Yes, when you love someone, you want to grant their wishes!

Women's quest for equality slid a little farther back each time she said, "Yes Master." LOL Have to give it to Jeannie, though. This gal could "fix" anything by batting her lashes. Cute limerick, Michelle. Best wishes for a win in Joseph's contest! Hugs, Carolyn (ps-mailed prizes yesterday)

I loved this show! One of my favorite shows ever! You probably knew that Barbara Eden was six months pregnant when they started filming, but they wanted her so badly, they chose her anyway. They made the right choice. I love this poem for it reminded me of her and she was darling!

I have seen some episodes but not too many, but I loved her pink genie costume!
