```

My Lord,

When I do anything wrong,

You immediately scold me

Ruthlessly.

But when I do many things right —

I mean, most satisfactorily —

You do not say even one word

Of appreciation.

Is it fair?

"My child,

When you do things

To My great Satisfaction,

I am all admiration for you.

But, alas, your giant pride

Does not understand My language.

What is worse, it deafens

Your two long and beautiful ears.

"My child,

At that time you should sympathise

With Me,

Instead of finding fault with Me.

"My child,

I do hope

I have defended My case

Most honourably

And most satisfactorily."

My Lord,

In that case,

I am terribly sorry for You.

Or, should I say,

I surrender completely

And unconditionally

To Your inscrutable Cleverness.
