Genie
The genie in the bottle, three wishes to be made
Was Aladdin like the hero or do my memories fade?
Those years like yesterday are fuzzy in my mind
But the genie in my bottle was of another kind
He granted me wishes though they lasted but a while
Made me laugh a bit too loud or smile an inviting smile
And I'd wake and find a stranger whose name escaped my mind
Because the genie in my bottle was of another kind
My babies all have grown now; they lived in foster care
For the years they needed me and I was never there
So I'm asking for your pity, Sir, could you spare a smoke
And just a few dollars because my bottle, well, it broke
If I could just get through this night, that's all I'll ever need
Well, I could trade you for it...Oh, what a fine and generous deed
This is the final bottle, I'll keep the promise! I really will this time
Unless the genie rubs the bottle and make me drink the wine.
Iano, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I haven't written a poem yet with which I'm totally pleased. This place is like the paper business, all my mistakes get published. LOL
