The Genesis of Crime + 

God said, “Let there be Crime,” and the command + 

Brought Satan, leading Stoneman by the hand. + 

“Why, that’s Stupidity, not Crime,” said God⁠— + 

“Bring what I ordered.” Satan with a nod + 

Replied, “This is one element⁠—when I + 

The other⁠—Opportunity⁠—supply + 

In just equivalent, the two’ll affine + 

And in a chemical embrace combine + 

And Crime result⁠—for Crime can only be + 

Stupiditate of Opportunity.” + 

So leaving Stoneman (not as yet endowed + 

With soul) in special session on a cloud, + 

Nick to his sooty laboratory went, + 

Returning soon with t’other element. + 

“Here’s Opportunity,” he said, and put + 

Pen, ink, and paper down at Stoneman’s foot. + 

He seized them⁠—Heaven was filled with fires and thunders, + 

And Crime was added to Creation’s wonders! + 
