Snails

There is a man
Who lives in a
Palace with halls of
Ice.
He eats snails and
has a long beard and
laughs or cries because
He knows everything.

But when you ask him a
Question,
He weeps wildly and
eats more snails and
babbles about Holy Lights
and cries and eats snails.

Then his mommy comes
And takes him home to
laugh and cry and
eat snails because
He knows the absolute
All.
