From a snake-catcher someone stole a snake;The fool saw as success this huge mistakeFrom that snake’s bite its owner thus was spared,It killed the thief who’d now become ensnared.The owner saw the thief as he lay dead:I’d prayed to find this wretch eventuallyTo claim my snake, then take it home with meThank heavens, God chose not to answer it:So many prayers request catastrophe,But God opts not to listen mercifully.
