Joseph was twenty years old
But was a very lazy man
Who never did any work
But always slept under the fan
One day strolling on the beach
He found a funny looking pot
Though as ghastly as it looked
He would give, selling it, a shot
He went to four black markets
And showed it to second-hand sellers
Nothing this ugly could be sold
They told him like fortune-tellers
Empty stomach he went to his hut
Thinking of cleaning the ugly pot
He poured some water on it
And kept it on a stove until it was hot
A flash of green light swooshed
Ouch! howled an unknown voice
A male Genie shot-up in the air
Whining about the hut being full of mice
You have three wishes, Master
The Genie with the funny beard said
You can ask anything you want
Apart from wanting somebody dead
To happy to think, Joseph said
I want to be the richest man ever
Want only beautiful women around me
And want to stay alive forever
Your wish is my command!
Genie said with a mischievous smile
He was going to laugh at this for centuries
On the wish he would fulfill in a while
A flash of green light swooshed
And on his butt did Joseph fall
Twenty beautiful women around him
For a second, he was having a ball
This place was the planet Yin
Only beautiful women lived here
He was going to live a great life
Without any hesitance or fear
Their Queen came forward and said
I would like to give you a choice
Give us diamonds or be our slave
Alright he said in a romantic voice
He searched for his promised wealth
Looked everywhere but found none
Holy Hell! The Genie duped me
Joseph said in a heart-rending tone
The Genie laughed floating above
No master! thunderously he said
I gave what you asked for, master
Not ever will you, by God, be dead!
The Genie tossed him a bronze coin
You are the richest man now
By far the only man on this planet
So stop complaining and take a bow
And what about these women?
Didnt you mention them in your wish?
So now what Lazy man?
The turkeys too big for your dish?
So Ill get going now, master
Im on a vacation for life
You got what you asked for
Now I have to attend my kids and wife
Joseph lived forever and ever
Serving women and being their slave
With only a single coin in his bag
He could do nothing but behave
