Wine is curative, they say. That is quite incredible!
I uncorked a bottle once, testing if it’s true.
But from there out crawled something very terrible,
Like a dragon or a snake, yellow, green and blue!

If I set my mind to drink - I’m solid and expeditive,
But to these distasteful pranks my standpoint is quite negative!

And this monster hopped around, ugly and malodorous,
Turned my flat into a harsh, messy, smelly den.
Then it hummed a tune that I wouldn’t call melodious
And this ghoul reincarnated as a rustic man!

If I set my mind to drink - I’m solid and expeditive,
But to these distasteful pranks my standpoint is quite negative!

First he scared me, this guy, so daft and devious,
I’m alone against this geek, that’s a real shame!
I recalled Aladdin’s tale, childishly mysterious,
And I said: "Hey, Mister Ibn, what’s your real name?

If I set my mind to drink - I’m solid and expeditive,
But to these distasteful pranks my standpoint is quite negative!

Don’t you try to pull my leg, don’t you be insidious,
Why did you select a bottle as a place to stay?
Or, perhaps, you plan to do something way too hideous,
Or, perhaps, you have some secrets that you hide away?"

He replied while bending deep in a servile attitude:
"I’m a spirit, not a fraud, nor am I a scam!
And for you, my liberator, as a sign of gratitude
I can beat up anybody - tell me whom to slam!"

"It’s Djinn!" - I realized. Boy! He is miraculous!
And whatever I would wish, he can make it mine!
"Your suggestion, - I replied, - is at all ridiculous,
Beating folks will happen later, now I want some wine!

Then a palace build for me, that defies reality,
It’s a piece of cake for you, genie, isn’t it?"
"No miracles, - he said. - Not my speciality.
All my skills I got in training are to crush and beat!"

"Dirty liar!" - I exclaimed. This made him delirious
And he hit me on my head with a skillful hook!
So I phoned the police: "Here’s a djinn, I’m serious!
He is killing me at home, come and take a look!!"

Soon they came - against the cops he was but a zero.
Cops can tackle anyone - let alone a djinn!
And they pushed into their van, like a sack, this hero,
He was helpless as a kid, what a funny scene!

If he’s jailed - then jail for him must be recreational,
Though small, a cell is not like a bottle tight!
Maybe he’s a boxer now, signed as a professional,
If he is competing then I will watch him fight!
