Genesis [god Said, 'Let There Be Crime,' And The Command]

God said, 'Let there be Crime,' and the command Brought Satan, leading Stoneman by the hand. 'Why, that's Stupidity, not Crime,' said God 'Bring what I ordered.' Satan with a nod Replied, 'This is _one_ element-when I The _other_-Opportunity-supply In just equivalent, the two'll affine And in a chemical embrace combine And Crime result-for Crime can only be Stupiditate of Opportunity.' So leaving Stoneman (not as yet endowed With soul) in special session on a cloud, Nick to his sooty laboratory went, Returning soon with t'other element. 'Here's Opportunity,' he said, and put Pen, ink, and paper down at Stoneman's foot. He seized them-Heaven was filled with fires and thunders, And Crime was added to Creation's wonders!
