She resented the fact
they had placed her in the middle.
She did not like it at all,
no how, not even a little.
“Do it my way,” he said,
“my way is really the best.”
“Do it my way,” she said,
“there is really no contest.”
What would you do
if you were caught in this ado?
She soon discovered
she could not please everyone.
So the devil came out
and convinced her to have some fun.
He whispered so softly,
“Tell her what he said, I mean, why not?
Then tell him her answer,
it won’t be hard to stir this pot!”
And the good Christian woman
listened to that tempting voice.
She stirred that pot
trying to create some loud noise.
But to her surprise
her plan more or less fell through.
And she was given
twice as much work to do!
MORAL:
It takes a devious soul
to become a big brat.
It takes a certain ability
and not everyone has that.
Next time reconsider
temptation and give it a second thought
and be careful when
you choose to stir that infamous pot.
