Forgotten Wishing Well

Near the bottom of the garden

dug deep into the hardy ground

there stands a special wishing well

not many folk know it`s around

three feet wide, with it`s sides so straight

very deep you can`t see it`s base

I'm sure if you looked hard enough

you`d be able to see a face

as I have said to you before

this is a very special well

when the new moon is shining bright

drop two coins in and make a spell

if the new moon is bright enough

then your little spell will come true

but please be very careful now

once started you`re to see it through

if you refuse to complete it

there`s a forfeit for you to pay

this may not be very pleasant

but I'm sure you will find a way

take care my inquisitive friend

that`s why the wishing well is here

down the bottom of the garden

no one will see you disappear!!

Stories with a twist are great fun to do!
