Wishes Do Come True

She tossed her coin into wishing well For all to see and for all to tell, She wished for a husband One tall dark and handsome, Hoping the well would break her dry spell. Well her suitors came from all around Some gross, some *****, no handsome found, She looked for a keeper And not just a looser, Then she met one financially sound. Tall dark and handsome, was just a joke She'd settle for one who wasn't broke, She got an old fella He's thirty years older, And just recovering from a stroke. Her wish at the well partly came true When she and her old man said "I do," Since she was no beauty He fulfilled his duty, It was her Daddy who paid him too!
