Hello, Queneau! or Multiplier Effect

     The four lines below can be set out in 24 
different orders, each providing a slight variant 
of the Parable of the Multiplication of the Loaves 
and Fishes. 

Once Son o' Man's done wrapp'd His spiel 
Tho' left with mostly empty creel 
He'll bless twin loaves 'n' fish with zeal  
Because He'd serve a decent meal
