I Wish
by Mike O'Brienc
(Christchurch New Zealand)
A man walks along the beach, he finds a lantern in the sand
What the heck is this? he thinks as he rubs it with his hand
Out pops a little Genie with some weeds and little fishes
I'm free at last the genie cried, now you have three wishes
The man replied look here mate I've got you out of a fix
Instead of the usual three wishes I demand you make it six
The Genie thinks this man is greedy,but he has me on remand
OK replies the Genie you six wishes are my command
(1) I wish to eat for ever more from a never ending plate
(2) I wish to be adored by woman,now would'nt that be great
(3) I wish to get up when I want and do whatever I please
(4) I wish to never work again and live a life of ease
(5) I wish to never have to pay for anything again
(6) I wish to be treated like a King and in my house I reign
These are the six wishes that I demand,now can you do all that
The Genie smiles and in a flash he changed the man into a CAT.
