Aladdin's Lamp
I light my precious oil Aladdin’s lamp
As I poured some wine, in a split sec
A genie appeared, as if by command:
“You’ve lift the lid, just put it back
I don’t perform anymore, better try
Another bottle, to get the one
Who can help, if you venture to apply",
Said the genie, and instantly he was gone
Gobsmacked, I rose from my sagged bed
Opened the website of Aladdin
Not a single mention of genies I met
Poorly designed lamps filled the screen
So I got me another bottle of red
Then another, and soon I lost count
Come back for a drink, genie, haven’t I said
All your wonders I can go without.
