Amazing indeed was the unfathomable body of Mr. Chaos Who didn’t eat, even more, he didn’t evacuate his bowels. . . But then he met with those who were drilling and chiselling, In no time he got all the nine apertures: his eyes, ears, nostrils, Mouth and the other two between his lower limbs. What a go! Day by day, men toil for food and clothing; year after year— Vexations about taxes and levies. . . The masses of people Strive for a bundle of coins, forming a crowd and bawling For all they’re worth. Truly, as it goes, they who play bowls Must expect to meet with rubbers in this game of survival.

Let us try and make them for him.' Accordingly, they dug one aperture in him every day; and at the end of seven days Chaos died. That was the way the world was created in the place of the ruler Chaos's central kingdom. Cheers, alex
