As they all broke out in laughter
Did he swear to come for them, thereafter;
And they all laughed even harder
At his dark and saddened face.
So, disgracefully he disappeared
And as the next night ever neared
He set out, his gaze quite leer
Well-prepared and without fear.
Though they laughed at him once more
They could not laugh quite as before
And they all laughed even less
Being faced with his success.
Thus he dreamed, at least,
While he raged on, as a beast;
"Lighten up", said then the priest,
"'Tis but a joke, played out always at our feast."
