Parable of Ten Virgins

Ten supposed  virgins with lamps, more  likely to be tramps about to stick a man like stamps. Hitch  a bridegroom  and try to put something inside a womb.    Five were smart as a fox and wise, and five were dumber than a box of fries.   Those who we're dimwits,   forgot their toolkits, and the oil to fuel it.   The wise packed reserves and used their  lamps with conserves.     The bridegroom was delayed, while the virgins slept, slumbered and played.   Around midnight the bridegroom arrived, someone cried, as the virgins became more revived.    The virgins in the camps ran to their lamps like champs.    The foolish cried to the wise, ‘Give us oil, our light won't survive.    The ill-advised realized their lack of preparation and  opted for a lazy solution without hesitation    The wise replied, ‘No supplies, not enough set a side , purchases your own wayside .’   When they left to buy, in came their guy, those who where ready left for a wedding, the others behind a locked door dreading.
