Three Wishes

Walking down the street,
I notice something shine.
'Not your ordinary something' I say,
'Quite a wonderful find!'

It seems to be made of gold,
Perhaps Fools Gold...
But seriously.
Who's to know?

It's dusty and ancient,
I wipe it off...
The dust comes flying up.
I stop with a cough.

I try to swipe the dust away,
but it's still there.
But not only that...
But a figure POPPED! right out of thin air.

'I AM YOUR GENIE!'
He says with a boom.
My smile starts to widen,
No sight of gloom.

'Do I get three wishes?!'
I say with such hope.
He says in his booming voice,
'Of course, you dope!'

At such a young age,
I had quite a long list.
Ponies, turtles, little pink dresses,
True love's first kiss...perhaps.

'I wish I knew what to wish for...'
I say in silence.
The Genie still hears,
There goes my first wish in defiance.

'Oh no! I wish I wasn't such an idiot!'
Again he hears.
There goes wish #2.
Here come the tears.

'You're such a meany!'
I say with a yelp.
'I wish you'd go away!
I don't need your help!'

'As you wish,
So it shall be.'
He's gone with a POOF!
Leaving just me.
