You relly didn't feel like talking to Barry or the Oil Lamp
for the next few days,and when you returned to school you were
wearing dark sunglasses to mask
those fiery orange
dragons eyes of yours.
Luckily for you Barry directed the other students away from you
and besides the odd stare,you managed
to get through your morning classes allright.
Then came lunch hour and everyone was getting ready to pop open their school lunch boxes
and get down to lunch.There
was the usual racket in the cafeteria lunch room
when suddenly the klaxon air raid alarms went off.
You students all sat silently
Had Bonnie and Clyde robbed Barry's dad the Banker?
Had Machine Gun McGurn
opened up on the old Roxy?
None of the above.
Suddenly me dressed in old Arabian costumes,
like in 1001 Arabian Nights
with Ali Baba
holding Scimitars
and wearing bandana's to cover their
faces,
AND
wearing drk shades like yours
burst into the lunch room and announced
it was a school lunch box robbery.
One of the fellows,who reminded you of a
Genie/Djinn,kept bursting out hysterically in laughter
as he ordered his fellow Genie Gangsters to rob the kids of their
school lunches.
Some of the kids,misunderstanding things
tossed coins and paper money onto the
lunch tables
but the Genie Gangsters
told the kids they
could keep their money
the Laughing Genie Gang just
wanted to rob the kids
of their school lunches
and lunch boxes.
Across the room you and Barry exchanged knowing
glances.
Were these robbers
dragons?actual wishing grnting genies
on a criminal spree?
You wished you had a dragon WHOPPER you could
swallow
but you didn't have one with you.
You waited till the Gangster Genies dashed out the doors again
then ran after them.
But that point they had already loaded up the school lunches
on their magical flying carpet
and before they made their escape you could see the
"Driver" was a girl your age,but masked and dressed in that old fashioned
Arabian costume
As the flying carpet dwindled to a speck as it rose into the air
Barry Mansfield said,standing beside you
"This can't be a coincidence with your finding
that Talking Oil Lamp"
