What does the future hold?
Of course you want know!
Your fortune sold,
2 faithless gold,
this knowledge I'll bestow!

No fears or tears my friend;
you cannot turn back now.
the frog is pinned
the cat has grinned
Your sweat drips from your brow.

Hmmmm....

I see a fortune made,
A larger fortune spent...
3 children fight,
a widow's spite,
an act without consent!

Yesss....

I see a grassy hill,
a tombstone on its side...
a ravaged beach,
acceptance speech,
a new and younger bride!

So, there you are my friend!
Your gold you did not squander!
I gave you scenes,
but what it means,
that is for you to ponder.

What? You are confused?
Don't fret... now, close the door.
I'll ease your thoughts,
connect these dots,
for only 5 gold more!
Inspired by >> Madame Bichon by cornacchia-art. This illustration has some fantastic details.  I liked the frog and the cat especially. 

This is one follows a limerick variant pattern.
