~> Stan And The Wishing Well - A Fable

Thad Wilk

Once upon a time there lived a nerd named Stan.

A kinda goofy and awkward type of man.

Spotted a 'wishing-well' one sunny day.

He hurried over to it, yup without delay.

He always wanted muscles and to be trim.

But he'd never exercise, nor would join a Gym?

```

Always a looking for an easy way out.

That's how, his worst nightmare came about!

Stan pulled out a dime then flipped it in.

I got it made, he thought with a grin.

I'll get the bod women long for finally!

They'd be waitin' in line, for a date with me. 

```

The way Stan worded his wish 'twas not too slick.

Got what he'd wish for, BUT now Stan's a chick!

The moral of this fable, far as I can tell:

Be careful what you wish for or;

your life could be a living Hell~

      careful 'bout who I

      Wot happened here, Thad is perfectly simple: The well was supplied by a very dodgy garden furniture supplier who utilized an early unsophisticated AI, as yet unable to interpret the subtleties of the English language… Should be a warning to any wishing well devotee (those polystyrene bricks aint going to last, either….)

      Up to your usual standard.
