Babel Revisited
Nimrod built a tower
Of stone and sand and brick;
He built it twenty stories high
And made the walls blood thick.
He stood upon the fabled top,
Surveyed the lands below,
While God leaned down to see the fuss
With a thunderbolt to throw.
"No need to stir ourselves," He said,
"It's only foolish man,
Trying to make an anthill
Of stone and brick and sand."
