God's Son - Jesus Was A Bricklayer Not A Carpenter

Ian Sawicki

And Jesus said, "I am the son of God."
Then he bought everyone in his posse
a jug of wine and some warm popadoms,
for they had worked hard building the new wall
at the back of his house; a big palace.

And Jesus said, "Right, now you can build me
a pond, so I may relax while you work."
The disciples nodded, although Judas,
he was not very happy at all, so...
thirty pieces of silver later, death!
