Her time was drawing near
but the old woman had no fear.
She’d lived a long and pious life;
her soul was free from strife.
As she passed a looking glass,
her secret wishes came to pass.
Three wishes she was granted
by the glass enchanted.
“Now you might think it’s funny
but I’ve never had much money”
And from this wishful seed
she got more than she would need.
Within the looking glass
she saw that time had passed
and so it didn’t take a sleuth.
Her second wish was “youth”
And so it came to pass –
Her final wish – at last.
Thinking, as she sat
she spied her faithful cat.
He had been her faithful friend
so it seemed right, at the end,
that his gentle, loving soul
should continue in that role.
“For wish number three –
as much for him as me –
I want you, if you can,
to transform him to a man”
That look of love she knew
was still there in eyes of blue.
As he pulled her near
he whispered in her ear…
“The blessings will be mixed…
Now, aren’t you sorry you had me fixed?”
