AFTER SEVEN DAYS
HE WAS QUITE TIRED
SO GOD SAID
LET THERE BE A DAY
JUST FOR PICNICS WITH
THE WINE AND BREAD
HE GATHERED UP
SOME PEOPLE HE
HAD MADE CREATED
BLANKETS AND LAID
BACK IN THE SHADE
THE PEOPLE SIPPED
THEIR WINE AND
WHAT WITH GOD THERE
THEY ASKED HIM
QUESTIONS LIKE
DO YOU HAVE TO EAT
OR GET YOUR HAIR
CUT IN HEAVEN
AND IF YOUR EYE
GOT POKED OUT IN THIS
LIFE WOULD IT BE
WAITING UP IN HEAVEN
WITH YOUR WIFE
GOD SHUFFLED HIS
FEET AND GLANCED
AROUND AT THEM
THE PEOPLE CLEARED
THEIR THROATS
AND STARED RIGHT
BACK AT HIM
SO HE SAID ONCE
THERE WAS A BOY
WHO WOKE UP WITH
BLUE HAIR
TO HIM IT WAS A JOY
UNTIL HE RAN OUT
INTO WARM AIR
HE THOUGHT OF HOW
HIS FRIENDS WOULD
COME AND SEE
AND WOULD
THEY LAUGH OR
HAD HE GOT SOME
STRANGE DISEASE
GOD SHUFFLED HIS
FEET AND GLANCED
AROUND AT THEM
THE PEOPLE CLEARED
THEIR THROATS
AND STARED RIGHT
BACK AT HIM
THE PEOPLE SAT
WAITING OUT ON
THEIR BLANKETS
IN THE GARDEN
BUT GOD SAID NOTHING
SO SOMEONE ASKED HIM
I BEG YOUR PARDON
I'M NOT QUITE CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT YOU
JUST SPOKE WAS THAT
A PARABLE OR A
VERY SUBTLE JOKE
GOD SHUFFLED HIS
FEET AND GLANCED
AROUND AT THEM
THE PEOPLE CLEARED
THEIR THROATS
AND STARED RIGHT
BACK AT HIM
