/// He is playing the part of a djinn,
and the costume is where he’d begin
to develop the role,
but he looks, on the whole,
like H. Dumpty crossed with Keenan Wynn.
/// Keenan knew if he didn’t replace
this odd garb he’d have egg on his face.
Except for each leg
he was shaped like an egg,
Not a djinn, but an ovoid disgrace.
/// In the end he relied on the turban,
and an accent that some have called “urban.”
The djinns with forms round
could only be found,
not in lamps, but in bottles of bourbon.
/// An occasion for making a toast
occurs often, he’s happy to boast.
But skoal too much liquor,
you won’t just feel sicker.
Take care you don’t give up the ghost.
/// A djinni who dwells in a flagon
of bourbon will find his tail draggin’.
Even though he may choose
soaking in other booze,
he’d be healthier if on the wagon.
