She’s a flame in golden garb -
Servant candle, Hadassah.
Angelic feathers, on barb,
For such a time as this ~ and God saw.
What a wretched beast, Haman.
Worked his way up to a seal.
Of Jews, he was not a fan.
The devil’s loathsome pride, a big deal.
The king chose her as his queen.
And again with scepter blest.
At banquet, Haman turns green.
He would hang on gallows, he’d possessed.
