to call a jinn the only thing

one needed was a magic ring.

you rubbed the ring and forth there came

a monster born of smoke and flame,

a thing of vapor, fume and glare

ready to waft you anywhere.

the magic jinns of yesterday

the wand of science now obey.

you ring, and lo! with rush and roar

the panting monster's at the door,

a thing of vapor, fume and glare

ready to take you anywhere.

what's in a name? what choice between

the giants, jinn and gasolene?
