Description
In ages past were great geniesWho were skilled in pretend
But soon enough their tricks caught up
And were quick to offend
Though they’d long been up to their games
Of clever deception
There were others more skilled than them
In tricking perception
It was a fool’s mistake to make
To go against those ones
Who change in the blink of an eye
To feud with leprechauns
In ages past were great genies
Who were skilled in pretend
But soon enough their tricks caught up
And were quick to offend
They caught the leprechauns once and
Only once in a trap
After that quick vengeance was sought
T’was their one true mishap
Their flimsy contract was broken
Their reputation, lost
They’d bought temporary power
Without knowing the cost
In ages past were great genies
Who were skilled in pretend
But soon enough their tricks caught up
And were quick to offend
Every creature around the globe
Quickly withheld much trust
From the genies and into their
Own dark age they were thrust
Time passed until “Genies are done”
Was said with surety
In the end they simply faded
Into obscurity
In ages past were great genies
Who were skilled in pretend
But soon enough their tricks caught up
And were quick to offend
