Around the camp`fire
the salesman told his tale
a fox met an eagle on a road
each eyed a salmon in a stream
the one’s gift was his strength
the other’s was his stealth
their’s was the contest

And so they set about
their plans to catch the fish
just as they readied to pounce
a wise grey`owl let out her hoot
upon which the fish was gone
but a bear emerged to have
them both for supper

“God looks down from heaven on humankind
      to see if there are any who are wise,
            who seek after God.
   Have they no knowledge, those evildoers,
      who eat up my people as they eat bread,
            and do not call upon God?” ~ Psalm 53:2,4
