Nursery Rhyme for a Godlet

Take a frank delight in Mind!
It never leaves a thing behind.
Although it may, here, go astray –
and, there, appear to lose its way –

and get you into brouhahas –
and wrest effect from any cause –
and leave you in a twilight zone
in which you learn just how alone

the spirit always is: don’t fret –
the fact that it will not forget
a single apperception means
you’ll always have sufficient beans

to make poetic cassoulet –
and, ergo, feed each trembling day
with all the You that you have stewed:
fermented data you’ve accrued

to wow the whole fraternity
of angels in eternity –
and all the demons, blest or not –
who wait for you to tread the spot

you, as ambassador to God,
insure no one has ever trod.
Take a frank delight in Mind!
It never leaves a thing behind.
