Balak was a bad man & a thief: dragged Balaam from his house to meagre wasteland in the dark,
wrenched from his tormented nightmares
the scene surveyed and offal burned Balaam continued with his fit
when the oracy was over (and fees handed over) Balaam slept seven times seven days dreaming of locusts & rising kings
angering an evil LORD, who was not pleased and woe betide he whose truth is truth, and lives in truth
but Balaam’s sleep was troubled he dreamed three dreams
