Wishing well

Wishes come true

The wishing well

Coming upon a wishing well 
I soon grew compelled, 
So I threw my penny in 
but it jump out again
It landed in my hand
right where I stand
Not believing what I saw,
I had to drop my jaw 
Compelled to win the game,
I threw it in again 
This time it span around
And came back and hit the ground
The well didn't want it both times
It was obviously mine
So I took it down to the store
but I dropped it on the floor
It bounce into the penny tin
So the manager had to grin
He looked real close at what he had
And then said, "Hey, this penny ain't half bad
We discovered it was gold
Of a very fine carat, I was told
So my wish came true you see
Now I am happy as can be.
So next time you see a wishing well
It is okay to be compelled.

Lovely poem, very interesting. Take note of a few grammatical errors though: Line 4, 6, and 8. I enjoyed reading this one, Honey-bee.

Thanks William!

An interesting piece. A couple minor things: "it jumped out again" "I had to drop my jaw" and "karat"
