Love Potion Number Six

Though he tried to win her affection
    All he got was her rejection
  Then his best friend said he knew
   A woman who could make a 'love brew'

 So off they went with the notion
   That they could acquire this love potion
  They knocked on the old lady's door
    She let them in, so they could explore

 He told her of the girl he adored
   And how by her he was ignored
 Old lady Annie knew just what to do
   She whipped up a most potent brew

  It was indeed her favorite mix
   She called it "love potion number six"
 Then she said; "After putting this in her drink my boy
   The first person she sees will be her love toy"

 Just one drop and the girl would brim
   With so much affection, only for him!
 But now he had to think,
   How to get one drop in her drink

 He knew the place she'd go to eat
    And that's where he'd put in the potion sweet
 So his friend distracted her, and in a wink
   He put the love potion into her drink

 He puckered up for a passionate kiss,
    But then something went amiss
 After she took a sip of the potion's blend
   The first person she saw was his best friend!!
