Beware the tail '

The head the priest..Or pastor stolid.' And a
A tail un-tamed that can strike ( most horrid.') Or wave in joy..Before the Lord, who rules and orders who claims all rewards.' Who tells the tail to shake or strike like a scorpion in the blinding desert light..He alone gives the order..The tail shows his joy or His judgement, with satan He now toys.' Head for judgement and direction yet
The tail you won't read..' though you will know of its action, when you have been  stunned by its speed.'
