the genie with the maple leaf tongue
is a sight to see on genie day
which just happens to be this day
and a huge festival is held
in his honor in a very peculiar way
some far off place rhyming with
Transylvania, or perhaps there indeed
towns will drink up all the bottles of beer
and will save the last bottle
for the genie to drink its own cheer
the villagers will wait in their stupors
surrounding that last bottle for
the genie with the maple leaf tongue to appear
who knows if it's truly a genie
or just lasting vapors from all the beer
anywho, usually one of the folks
will eventually pipe up and proclaim
they've seen the genie pop up from the spot
by this time it's more than likely
growing dim and they'd all rather be toking pot
the village elders then gather to consult
after such a proclamation has been made
and question the witness on what was seen
if the genie was seen with his tongue
poking out then they'll be snow on Halloween
if that is mentioned the witness is shunned
and won't get any until the ringing in of New Year
poor, poor pitiful the time will be for thee
but if the witness sees no tongue
a wish will be granted by the nearest oak tree
and all the villagers will then take their turns
visiting the tree to whisper their desires
in turn they must take an acorn back with them
who knows why, like any of it's true
these are all just words said at a whim
