A drunkard prophet
predicted thunder
for the day the baby was due.
As the fool had expected,
the baby was born
into a stormy world.
The sleepy infant
took one look,
said blimey, I don’t fancy this.
I’ll go back for a bit til it’s over.
The mother was vexed –
she went over the edge
at the prospect
of repeating the process.
Oh okay, said the child,
If that’s how you feel.
what a bind,
but he turned full circle.
With one last trump
the thunder was spent
as born-again baby appeared.
All was well in the end,
the world mended its ways.
and they call the child Thor to remember.
So unique, Viv!
