I wrestled
with the devil from morning until night
(He
slipped in through a back door and put up quite a fight)
And though
he seemed the victor by early morning's light
He
suddenly retreated and fled like one in fright.
A
medico might call it the onset of the flu
(The
word that crossed my mind was v-o-o-d-o-o,
Not
African but Asian j-o-o-j-o-o
Or
juju more correctly but that I'm sure you knew.)
