There was a wicked messenger, from |
|
Eli he did come |
|
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter |
|
When questioned who had sent for him, he answered with his thumb |
|
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter |
|
He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there he made his bed |
|
Oftentimes he could be seen returning |
|
Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand, which read"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning" |
|
Oh, the leaves began to fallin' and the seas began to part |
|
And the people that confronted him were many |
|
And he was told but these few words, which opened up his heart"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any" |
