If Life Hands You Diamonds

Stamping out the flames

where He'd spilled oil on the wood floor,

God accidentally made flat diamonds.

He could make a necklace

for His girlfriend, He guessed,

so as not to waste them.

that He'd been meaning to invent lemonade,

but lemon trees hadn't evolved yet.

He drummed His fingers impatiently;

what to do till then?
