I had only one request, but first,
The genie had to appear from the
Bottle of my wine, not quite empty.

Yet though, it should be now,
Needn’t more, hadn’t much,
Just enough to buzz my heart.

Where could have I started if not,
Original but the line authentic, and why?

As I looked through the top hoping,
I had no insight but for just maybe,
All my problems to disappear in there.

What would really make it worst,
The reappearing same issues, and a genie
With a very bad attitude.
