The events in this poem,
I can say for sure,
Happened right after
The experiment's failure.
Regina now had nothing left.
She wanted the kingdom to herself, by all means.
But for now, she decided
To act as a quiet and good-natured queen.
For now, we will shift focus
To Regina's husband, King Leopold,
Whose purity, generosity, and kindness
Never grows old.
King Leopold was taking a walk
Along a sandy beach ramp
When he saw that the tide had washed in
A golden and oddly shaped lamp.
He picked it up,
And like a curious kit,
He rubbed the shiny lamp
With his hand a bit.
Purple smoke encircled the lamp.
It was anything but teeny.
Before the king appeared
A well-dressed genie.
He said, "I am the genie of Agrabah.
I will grant you three wishes.
It can be anything, from granting you gold
To cleaning your dishes."
The king replied,
"I have everything that I require.
I have a good life. The kingdom is healthy.
There is nothing I desire."
"Then maybe you
Can do something for me.
A genie's job is tiring.
Can you wish me free?"
"With the power
Vested within me,
I so wish for you, Genie,
To be free!"
Smoke encircled the gold bracelets
On the Genie's wrists.
Now he could do all of the things
That were on his to-do list.
"Your Majesty, I thank you
For setting me free.
Though, I still am not the happiest
That I could be."
"I wish with all my heart,
As my second wish,
To bestow upon you
My third and final wish."
The lamp was now back
In the Genie's possession.
He could use the wish
For any little want or obsession.
"Genie, for your generosity,
I grant you a place at my palace.
You will be safe
From any forces of malice."
