genesis 41
SEVEN FAT CALVES GRAZED BY THE RIVER
THEN SEVEN THIN CALVES LEAPED UP AND ATE THEM
I SAW SEVEN FAT HEADS OF WHEAT
SEVEN THIN HEADS SPROUTED
AND THE THIN WHEAT ATE THE FAT
MY MAGICIANS ARE UNABLE TO INTERPRET THIS DREAM
THE CALF IMAGERY WAS PROMISING BUT CANNIBAL WHEAT IS REPETITIVE, ILL-CONCEIVED AND COMICAL
SHALL I FETCH THE IMPALING SPIKE?
TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED
IT MEANS YOU HAD ONE DECENT IDEA BUT NO WAY TO FOLLOW UP. TWO STARS.
NO, HE'S RIGHT. I'M GOING BACK TO BED
