The Choice Is Yours

The choice is yours. There are four cauldrons of magic potions.
Choose green, and you will be happy the rest of your life.
Choose blue, and you will become empathetic and loving.
Choose yellow and you will be able to turn invisible.
Choose silver and you will be able to travel between planets.
Choose gold and you will be able to run up the side of skyscrapers.
Choose pink and you will be able to swim with sharks safely.
Choose red and you will be able to sing like Mariah Carey.
Choose purple and you will be able to dance like Tina Turner.
Choose aqua and you will be able to look like Cher did in 1971.
I choose rainbow, the wise woman said.

I thought I could dance like her but I was wrong.
