Noah had his flood.
Abel had his fall.
Jonah had his whale.
Peter died like Paul.
Jacob had his Angel.
We all begrudge him that.
Job, the sorry martyr
lost more than we will have.
Samson lost his strength.
Lazarus his life.
One of them regained it.
The other blamed his wife.
The point of sacred fables
and their warnings of the plagues:
Drink the poison willingly
since Eve obeyed the Snake.
