“god i thank you that i am not like
unrighteous solomon fell for women
she made the man eat from the tree her psych-
ology deceptive and fleeting therein
the trouble how can a man keep his way pure
for the fowler is snared by the bird contrary
unrighteous women one can find thats for sure
pretty doves innocent as snakes be wary
god she you see was after nothing good
she cried and called it our mutual fall
but lord i flee temptation like a ghost
according to your word decline each call
by grace alone one onan understood.”

He spoke. And took rapidly the wine and host.

After ‘“next to of course god america i’ by E.E. Cummings
