Belly Dancer - part 4
Was on the run
Not going anywhere
Caught again
But hopefully not for long
Might try a spell
I hope Djinn doesn’t put me in chains
Now for my next try

Now I have the money
Time to escape
Before Djinn wakes
Help

While the Djinn sleeps
Now to run off with the Djinns money
Need a large carrier
Must hurry

Belly Dancer- part 1
The Djinn put me in a bottle
I made him watch me as I did a spin.
