Wishing Wells.
Be careful when you make a wish at the wishing wells.
Witches and Sorcerers often cast some nasty spells.
A man once wished for diamonds to fill a large sack.
His wish was granted the heavy sack broke his back.
A silly woman wished for a large modern mansion to be built.
She had no furniture, no clothes or money, just an old quilt.
Simple wishes such as to wish for happiness and good health.
These wishes often bring the secrets of making great wealth.
The little folk of Fairyland know all about the wishing wells.
Also of the witches and sorcerers that cast the evil spells.
Some Leprechauns once wished for pots of yellow gold.
Their wishes came true but they soon grew quite old.
Pixies once wished for the same powers as the Queen.
They just disappeared and have never more been seen.
To be able to grow big wished the unsatisfied Trolls.
Now they are no bigger than the smallest of dolls.
I have no inclination to visit any of the wishing wells.
Nor do I want to be the fool of the witch and her spells.
