make a wish. the man in the moon
will grant three wishes, mom said. . .
my toes curling in wet grass
catching fireflies in the dark hedge
eyes dancing in the starlight

Fleshful Flights For Fantasy

Caressing her marmalades delicious derriere
As if it's beauty were that her genies bottle ?
Three wishes a bouquet in colourful candles..
She licking dreams to quench, her rose tower.

Premium Member A Second Limerick Joke

A leprechaun grants me three wishes—it’s my lucky day!
But for my ex he’ll double each gift--much to my dismay! 
Not at all deterred
And for the last and third
I say beat me to death just half way

Three Wishes

One wish 
Two wish 
Three wish four

The first wish is to wish
and then wish
some more

The second wish
is to swish
and glide and soar 

The third wish 
is the last......
can I please have one more?

Three Wishes

I have 3 wishes for the year to come :
peace, peace, peace...
Peace for those who fight in wars,
peace to those who fight for love,
peace for those who do nothing....
All done and carried out in mayor justice for everyone!

Wishing You the Very Best

Three wishes
Illuminating dishes


First one
  No gun


Communication is the key


Second asking
   Sun's basking


For no light World would be cold lonely and dark


Third request
  Loves zest

After all it's what makes the world go around

Dear Poet, and a Genie Bottle

Dear Poet; knock,knock.
Who's There? Dr. Poet:
Dr. Poet Who???

Three Wishes

If you rub my lamp,
You might get a cramp.
Three wishes I give you,
Nothing like voodoo.
First wish,
just not a fish.
Second way,
Nothing to betray.
Third is a charm,
But not to disarm.
The way these work,
I'm not a clerk.
There's nothing I wouldn't do,
Since when is a genie blue?

The Seal of the Purple Heart

When the heart yearns for greater love,
So blooming like a lily flower 
And my soul is enlightened.

You see the sun and the blue sea
Like the beautiful Beulah land
With your tears flow like a river.

What kind of love has come,
As I find light in the dark tunnel 
And three wishes are granted.

My Three Wishes

I
do not
wish for fame,
for the world to
know me by my name.
A mansion on a hill
with acres green, by a rill,
and sweeping views down to the sea
would be to squander my wishes three
I’d rather a wealth, of peace, joy and health.

Dreams, Happiness and Health

If I could have three wishes
I'd wonder what they'd be,
I wouldn't ask for money 
It won't grow on a tree.

As much as I would like to
See all my loved ones' face,
I wouldn't ask to see them
For they're in a better place.

I can not ask for wishes
But my dreams to come true,
Asking for happiness
Good health for me and you.

If I--- You

If I had a genie in a bottle, I’d wish for you.
If I had three wishes, I’d wish for you.
If I had to choose, I’d choose you
When I breathe, I breathe for you.
When I save, I save for you.
When I speak, I speak for you.
If I truly live life, it would have to be with you.
If I fall asleep, it will be beside you.
If I wake up, it will be with you.

Misty summer evenings
Objects seem mysterious
Ofttimes challenging to
Navigate by moonglow

Melodies in the background
Airborne by design
Granting one three wishes
In the moonlit dead of night
Capriciously perhaps
Knowing there's a price

Three Wishes

If I had three wishes, I would wish each
one for you,
I would wish your life full of happiness,
I would wish away your blues.

If I were magic, I would give you all 
you need,
I would take away your sorrow 
that seems to make your heart bleed.

I wish I could take you in my arms
and hold you for all eternity,
But all I have to give you is the
love inside of me.

Three Wishes

Three wishes I will treasure
If you give them to me
And first I ask for talent
For I have none you see

And then I beg for foresight
Instead of hindsight I have now
It would be nice to look ahead
And then to take my bow

Then I need resilience
To get up off my knees
For without talent or foresight
I always just say,"please".

Three Wishes

Three wishes I will grant you,
Three wishes and no more,
No wealth nor riches can I offer,
Choose wisely I implore.

Perhaps the gift of wisdom,
Like Solomon or Balthazar,
The offering of kindness,
A Samaritan or Angel afar.

Precious talents of a musician,
Master of canvas, paint and brush.
Take time this is your chance,
I will wait patiently, no hurry, no rush.

Standing by the wishing well,
A silver dollar in my hand.
Made my wish and dropped it in,
Out popped a golden wedding band.

I slipped the ring on my finger,
And tossed another dollar in.
No sooner that it hit the water,
There you stood with a shining grin.

Third coin I made my final wish,
Then my heart began to sing.
You wore a silken gown of white,
And on your hand a diamond ring.

Three Wishes

In my youth appeared a star
I wished that it would send a car
Then I thought to throw a penny
And hoped for riches full and plenty

Once I used a candle and cake
To stop and cure a heart ache
Still many a time at bedside
I looked for a shining light to guide

Today I’m older with no superstitions
And seek the ways of a good physician
One who is magical and will share
How he plans to bring back my hair

Three Wishes

It's midnight; I used to love this day.
The clock let me know it's one a.m,
You're the ones who come to my mind.
We're in October, the year is almost over.
Am I the only one to whom this year disappeared? 
But we're here, the last steps.
I see your smile and something burns;
You gave me motivation to keep on trying.
You're the reason why I'm also here.
Time to think three wishes,
Love, peace and your happiness.

The old Irishman and his wife were out walking.
They saw a Leprechaun
chased and caught it.

The Leprechaun begged
“please release me and
I’ll be givin’ ya three wishes.”

The wife said:
“I wish I had a hat.”

The husband said: 
“I wish it was in y’er ****.”

The wife said:
“I wish it wasn’t.”

The leprechaun laughed
and walked away.

Three Wishes

Three wishes the good fairy gave 
For which I rejoiced and did rave;
I wished for some bucks 
But didn’t have luck 
When I lost on a dark horse named Mave. 

I thought long and hard for the next 
For this wish I wouldn’t be vexed;
I wished to spread cheer 
To those far and near 
But all I could do was send texts. 

My last I will choose with much care 
And clearly make known my wish there.

Three Wishes

Three wishes

I’ve been granted several wishes
Well actually just three
The first I’d use for happiness
For every one I see

Eliminating all the frowns
Disposing of the hate
The second I would use for health
So illness I’d negate

The third one is a special wish
And this is what I’d do
I’d use it to take all my love
And send it out to you

As the couple left the pub
they spied a Leprechaun,
very stealthily trapped him.
Says the Leprechaun: “I’ll grant ye three wishes.”
“Three wishes!” “Three Wishes!’
“Ye will grant us Three Wishes!”
“I wish I had a hat!” - says she
“I wish it were in yer ****!” - says he
“I wish it wasn’t!” - says she

My Three Wishes

If I were to be granted three wishes today.
     I'd wish for a mind that would stay clear always.

I'd wish that in the beginning, man had not sinned.
     So that the world wouldn't be in all the trouble it's in.

I'd wish for some toys, so that we could all play.
     And be happy and carefree, together always.

So if these three wishes could possibly come true.
     Then living would be wonderful and we'd never be blue.
