the first wish

i meet

a generous Genie

at the beach.

she's in an old 

Mateus wine

bottle that's washed

up on the shore.

i give it a rub,

and out she pops.

ponytail and J Lo

pants.

she tells me

that i get a hundred

wishes

whenever i want.

a hundred?

sure she says.

why not?

well most Genies only

offer

three wishes.

hmm. she says.

i'm new at this, but

thanks

for the info.

okay, so what's your

first wish.

money, a car, a house.

how about we go

for a cup of coffee

and talk about it, i tell

her.

by the way,

nice pants.
