Falling Stars

79

Long, long ago
In the days gods appeared before men

Bread fell down from heaven
Some lamented loudly that the bread was not meat

Meat fell down from heaven
Some lamented loudly that the meat was not bread

God came down from heaven
He will make water Fall for a time
Until he learns what makes everyone happy

Rain fell down from heaven
Everyone lamented loudly that their clothing became wet

Flames fell down from heaven
Everyone lamented loudly that their houses burned down

God came down from heaven
He will make nothing fall from heaven
Until he learns what makes everyone happy

Nothing fell down from heaven
Some lamented loudly that God had forsaken them

All manner of things fell down from heaven
Some lamented loudly that God should be
More selective In what he sent

Boulders fell down from heaven
Now the lamentations had finally ceased

Rain fell down from heaven
Passing travelers expressed their gratitude

"God we thank thee for the unexpected weather.
Now we can carry on our long journey and
Enjoy the break from the monotony."

God sae them off without a word
As it should be

Gods and dice are best when silent
