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.
