Panda

It is easy for the devil
To set up a nasty pinch,
As long as the mortal
Does have desires to quench.

Our vitality so limited,
The demands for it limitless.
And Satan flings passions
Like flames unto human patience.

The battle seems hopeless,
The pinch ever relentless.
In despair some evolved monkeys
Shrug off cerebral intelligence,
And return to corporal patience
As shown on a panda's countenance,
Which does the impossible,
And baffles the proud devil.
