UPON FURTHER REFLECTION
I won’t tell how I came into possession of Ali Baba’s magic lamp. Let’s just say that I found it before it got lost.
“Oh great, another master, and what will you want?” Where was the respectful genie from the stories?
First of all, I want a grand mansion.
“Never fear, Master. I will provide everything you deserve.”
While it appeared spacious, it always felt claustrophobic. I preferred being outside. I was doing some decorating. As I knelt to pick up the new bathroom mirror, I caught the reflection of the real ‘Emperor’s new mansion’ that he felt I deserved.

Thanx. I’m kinda proud of that line. Not that I’ve ever actually used it. 😉

It’s sounds like the genie 🧞♂️ is a bit overworked. 😂

Just get the lamp decorated the way you like…. and someone new rubs you the wrong way. 😛

Maybe the problem lies in the way he came to be in possession of said lamp…

Neil got there before me – my comment was going to be exactly his. And it seems no good will come of acquiring that lamp.
