After carefully weighing
all of my options,
I used the first of my
three wishes,
granted to me by the genie,
for one million fishes.
***
The genie nodded his head
and said,
“I here-by grant you one million wishes!”
***
I shook my head in
frustration.
I explained to him that
I had said, f-i-s-h-e-s!
One million fishes.
***
The genie just stopped
& gave me a real funny look.
And then,
it suddenly hit me —
this guy was not listening
to me at all.
Man, it is not good if genies dont listen. That could be really dangerous and maybe kinda funny also

Welcome to my world. I am a cancer survivor with no tongue. I go to Starbucks and order “One large Black Coffee.Please, four sugars.”- The response: “I am sorry Sir, we don’t serve elephants here.” My thought: If I were ordering an elephant- why would I be at Starbucks?

I know a foodie who asked for ONE MILLION DISHES. The genie became so frustrated that he’s now hitting the bottle.
