Careful What You Wish For

The Genie in a bottle Granted me these wishes three For unleashing the cork That set his spirit free Awhile I thought and pondered What will my first wish be I said ...The ability to fly He said...That's one of wishes three The next on my agenda Was wealth and luxury I said...Surround me with riches He said...That's two of wishes three The final thing I asked for And I think you'll all agree I said...To die a happy man He said...That's the last of wishes three He then smiled a wicked smile Tossed me as far as you can see Landed headfirst in Fort Knox Now I'm dead one, two, three
