Oh! my name is John Wellington Wells,
I'm a dealer in magic and spells,
In blessings and curses
And ever-filled purses,
In prophecies, witches, and knells.

If you want a proud foe to "make tracks"-
If you'd melt a rich uncle in wax-
You've but to look in
On our resident Djinn,
Number seventy, Simmery Axe! (W. S. Gilbert)
