Gentle Persuasion

		        I'm a little tried from all the finger work today,
		        And you are one tough student I must say.
		        But I like the challenge you present
		        In teaching one how Alad must play.

		        Learning Aladdin is a challenge, but fun...
		        And although I'm still far from done
		        I've reaped a wonderful dividend...
		        William, my tutor, is now Bill, my friend.

		        Ah, memories! I have the greatest time there,
		        searching and looking then finding my way.
		        And its magic with Genie when provided the
		        lovely mistress of words thru Aladdin to play.

		        There is joy to be had from the meeting of minds
		        Each with a void that the other defines...
		        With gentle persuasion and patience evoking
		        The melding required to allow the unfolding.
