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

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