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!
