Cauldron of Magic Potion

Love had been illusive and then I had the notion to dive right into a cauldron of magic potion. Its scent rather exotic, its color, something to dread I swam, hoping a lover would be drawn to my bed I took a gulp in hopes its magic would work quicker Maybe I would catch the eye of the new town vicar. I closed my eyes and thought of a very handsome man but when I opened them, the only one I saw was Stan. He couldn't possibly be the answer to my love quest! He's not exactly the kind of guy I want at my love fest. He'd never spoken a word to me and hardly had any hair I dived deeper, hoping he hadn't seen me swimming there. Perhaps the potion is too old to work its romantic magic. Another failed attempt to find love. Sigh... life is tragic. I was climbing out and noticed my skin wrinkled like a prune, dried off with a towel and heard someone singing a tune. It was a male's voice crooning, 'I'm in the mood for love....' and quickly, I said a little prayer, offered to Heaven above A well-dressed man walked up to me and said, "Hello, miss." I looked intently at his smiling lips, anticipating a sweet kiss. I couldn't find a word to speak. I just stood there like a mute. Oh, how embarrassing it was because this guy was so cute. "Have you been testing the potency of my new love potion? We could go for a swim together, if you have the same notion." I nodded as he took my hand and once again, I dived right in. The water was warm but there were goosebumps on my skin. I finally found my voice and we talked on and on for hours. I can't deny the cauldron's love potion had magical powers.
