The Genial Genie

 

Has it stopped raining?

 

O Genie, of the magic lamp,

Don't come if the weather's damp.

Stay in till the day is fine

Then help me work some spells of mine.

 

Here I am Master

 

O Genie, let me say I'm fond

Of asking you to mind my wand,

But don't come when the weather's chill.

You cannot help me if you're ill.

 

 

Please look after me while Master is away

 

Why don't you wish for an umbrella?

 

O Genie, magic is such fun

When shines the moon or glows the sun,

But if the day is dark and drear

Don't come till the weather's clear.

 

Your wish is my command

Grrrrr......

 

 

O Genie, though you fear the owl,

And dread the Wyvern's dragony growl,

Disregard the Wizard's scowl

And don't come if the weather's foul.

 

I don't like genies!

Retire this Genie
