Magic
Sam Adams was hiking in Tilden Park
In the Berkeley Hills,
When he came upon a hidden lake.
And encountered three beautiful fairies
bathing in the lake,
They smiled at him, and said,
“Sam Adams, we are fairies
From another dimension
We can offer you three wishes
But be careful what you wish for
for magic comes
with a terrible price
“Okay my first wish
I want to win a billion-dollar lotto”
“Done.”
they said handing him
The winning lotto ticket.
“Two I want to be president
Of the world.”
“Done”
And he found himself
In the White House.
“I want to be married
To the most beautiful woman
In the world and have her love me
Until the day she dies.”
“Two wishes
But what the hey.”
He went to the bedroom
Saw the most beautiful woman
In the world.
She looked up
From her deathbed,
Saying,
“Sam Adams I love you”
Then she died.
The three fairies
Re-appear, saying,
“We told you to be careful
What you wished for”.
