Many years ago
When Craft was just a girl
She wandered on the seashore
Where the breakers foam and swirl
She tripped upon some driftwood
And went tumble ing
As she landed right before her
A mis shapen metal thing

She was only young then
but not really naive
She thought it looked like silver
So she rubbed it on her sleeve
A wisp of smoke came twisting
From the objects spout
She was quite disconcerted
when a naked man ooozed out

I am here to grant three wishes
Crafty lass was told
Ok she said I'd like a life
where there will be much gold
The Genie laughed and gestured
And said I think life brings
You lots of gold m'lady
In the form of wedding rings
so wish again and swiftly
Cos I'm getting rather cold
Ok she said I want a man
To have, to love to hold
Again the genie chortled
And said no need to say
There are many in your life
To love to lose or stay

She thought a while then answered
I'd like one magic thing
A bottle that never empties
Of Bombay sapphire Gin
The genie said thats easy
Then with a tone ironic
Said would you want some ice with that
Or a never ending tonic

Then there was a flash and in her hands
Was a big bottle full of Gin
to the side some glasses
And she looked up at him
Would you like to come to my place
To see if we can test
This gin is never emptying
And maybe it be best
If we went to somewhere comfy
neath an eiderdown
If we drink too much twill be ok
if we get to falling down
They went back together
And about 11 ish
Craft looked at the naked genie
Said I have another wish
If you are going to hang around
If you don't think this is silly
Use your ever lasting spell
On your bl00dy willy
