Three Wishes

Some fool gave me three wishes I wished to always catch fat fishes And a shiny new fishing boat To float around and gloat, gloat, gloat My third wish is no simple task Wringing my hands on what to ask Should I demand more money, more money, more money Or the hand of a beautiful, sexy honey I've flipped, flopped and fretted on this too long My third wish has gone terribly wrong, wrong, wrong I wished this trouble would go away And found all my wishes were gone today Three Wishes Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kevin Shaw 10/19/18

LOL - it is wonderful to want so little. Life is so much simpler then. A lovely poem, Timothy.
