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.
