As wise as serpents ,
As wise as serpents, as innocent as
doves' So we are told to be; by the creator
Of all from above..Now i chanced into
a prayer
Group once,
listened and took part,
the praying was fierce there ya know?
scriptures spoken
off by; and from the
Heart, and so' when time it came to take of
the Host, i noted one strange thing,
an old guy
Took four cups and wafers,
And mumbled ' in the Ghost' i thought he
Must be starved poor thing.? When it was
Over and time to go, i pressed him on his
Act.' He gazed at me with steel blue eyes
When i offered him for dinner tho..
He said you did note, when
i took
the
cups and
Bread? i swallowed just slightly
and nodded my head.'
He didnt explode, just sorta
Smiled..He said do ya reckon satan can
Count.? My child.. I answered i don't
doubt,then he added its kinda became my style
As we know nine of us were here
tonight; for a little while, now satans
got an
extra three in his head, to
Follow around and chide.' And even dread'
You see he does a visit once we're gone'
Studys his enemy; counts the cups of
their throng?
He then donned his
Jacket and doffed his hat, and as he went
through the door ( i thought on that!) And
Doves and serpents, and a devil counting
quite
mad..Yet never knowing? how good;
he'd really been
Had.)
