When i was stumbling

in the dark,confused

and crying out for help,

this friendly fello seemed amused;

And while i fought like anything

to keep the candle lit 

he cheerfully reviewed

the guttering of my wit.

Astonished that the brother found

my struggle such a treat

i turned th flickering light on him

and glimpsed his doven feet.
