and stole a woman off the Earth
he said:
“You are the most beautiful.”
she said:
“Let me be ugly.”
he said:
“You have the sweetest of voices.”
she said:
“Allow me to croak like a toad.”
he said:
“You are more graceful than anyone.”
she said:
“Turn my right foot left.”
he said:
“You are the wittiest of mankind.”
she said:
“Make me less thoughtful than a stone.”
he said:
“You will live beyond anyone.”
she said:
“Kill me now.”
the angel fulfilled each of her requests
all humans lost their divine features
so she could be ugly and yet beautiful
all the voices of humanity soured
so she could croak yet sing
the world’s dancing became crude
so she could be clumsy yet graceful
all humans became stupid
so she could be thoughtless yet smart
life expectancy dropped
so she could die yet be aged
the woman went back to Earth
and remained heavenly
I like this a lot.
