Door Number 1, Door Number 2, or Door Number 3

The August 26, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Youre having a nightmare, and have to choose between three doors. Pick one, and tell us about what you find on the other side.

Door number one,
Door number two,
Or door number three,
How do I choose which one
to open wide
And see
what hides inside.

It doesn't matter which door I choose because I will always wonder what was behind the other two. Since I don't have x-ray vision, even in my worst nightmare, I'll have to use another method to decide which door to open. I suppose I could say (while pointing at each door):

"Eenie, meenie, miny, moe,
Catch an author by the toe,
If she hollers, make her pay,
Fifty dollars everyday."

The problem is that sounds too much like extortion. Besides in this silly nightmare I'd probably catch myself by my big toe and I can't afford to pay anyone, including myself, fifty dollars every single day for the rest of my life. I guess I could try

"One tequila,
Two tequila,
Three tequila,
Door."

However, this is a nonalcoholic nightmare, so I guess the best way to choose is to pick the highest odd number of the trio because according to Virgil "The divinity loves the odd number."1 I've never been able to determine why this is, but I suspect it has something to do with a quorum.

I choose door number three,
as the door that will sit me free
of this nightmare.

Cautiously, I open the door. It's always a good idea to be cautious when opening a door behind which could be anything living, dead, or mythological. I stand there and stare at the creature standing in front of me. "Well," I sigh, "at least it isn't the common arachnophobic nightmare with a gigantic spider." I reach inside, grab the halter, and pull the creature into the light.

"I always wanted a flying unicorn," I smiled. "Now all I have to do is figure out how to mount without a saddle and stirrups. Not to mention riding this beautiful creature bareback."
