Through wrinkled citrus avatar with hands
Too small to work to meet their work’s demands
And smaller part that to a small height stands--
As those who’ve known much larger parts attest--
Does Stupid God seem clearly to think best
To work to shape the world at its behest,
And since it has success too much enjoyed,
That avatar must be thought well employed,
For when it speaks, the thinking are annoyed.
But in annoyance, anger’s path lies clear,
And though at times we should let anger steer,
It does not always swerve to miss the deer
And strikes the beast instead, to its chagrin
And that of those who thus let folly win.
