I have God's gift no I have God's gift no no it is I that has God's gift all the time they fought as to who had God's gift finally in despair they left one another and entered their own dwellings and locked their own doors each waited for the other to ring his doorbell and then to humbly ask "Oh may I see the gift that God has given you?" each one waited the other one out until each became bloated and decayed finally the worms came and left just shiny white bones on their living room floors even the odor is now gone not even a hint of the envy that led them to retreat.

I have God's gift
no I have God's gift
no no it is I that has God's gift
all the time they fought as to who had God's gift
finally in despair
they left one another
and entered their own dwellings
and locked their own doors
each waited for the other
to ring his doorbell
and then to humbly ask
"Oh may I see the gift that God has given you?"
each one waited the other one out
until each became bloated and decayed
finally the worms came
and left just shiny white bones
on their living room floors
even the odor is now gone
not even a hint of the envy
that led them to retreat.
