This Jesus You Mentioned.

This Jesus You  Mentioned


oh I gave the Book a whirl
night-times read it to my girl
stories telling how that rabbi
taught so well and healed.
quite a chap, no doubt of that.
his example got down pat
but his Lordship?
that's the part that
I can't feel.
born again, friends use that term.
but it usually makes me squirm
change the topic, do a chore
or cut things short.
a big leap, fanatic-like
maybe later Bud, all right?
nothing here of the religious sort.
I have time left, I’m sure
to connect to Gospel cure
not intending to cut
my party short.
