Wishes

After carefully

weighing all of

my options,

***

I used my one wish,

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

gave me a real funny look.

***

And it was then

it suddenly hit me —

this guy was not listening

to me at all.

  1. 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?
