Tsathoggua did gurgle,
about the thief of the 39th girdle.
Who was the infamous Satampra Zeiros,
he of prodigious skill and much eros.
His skill was know throughout the land,
even after his unfortunate loss of hand.
Of his many companions far and wide,
it was Vixeela who was to be his bride.
Before the blessed day - hierophant Ruul-Vash,
chose to sell her virtue for cash.
In return Satampra did measure,
many tortures at his leisure.
Upon the quivering hierophant,
who did scream and writhe like a sycophant.
