WHAT DID HE EXPECT
THIS ITINERANT PREACHER
WHAT DID HE EXPECT
TO BE TREATED LIKE EQUALS
LIKE ANOTHER OF THE PHARISEES
WHAT DID HE EXPECT
I INVITED HIM TO A MEAL
LORD KNOWS HE LOOKED LIKE HE NEEDED ONE
AT FIRST
ALL WAS
AS IT SHOULD BE
HE ATE
AND ENJOYED HIS MEAL
IT WAS THE WOMAN
THAT STARTED THE RUCKUS
WOMEN ARE GOOD FOR TWO THINGS
HOUSE KEEPING AND BED
WHICH IS HOW SHE GOT IN UNANNOUNCED
THEN SHE
WHO UNDER OTHER CONDITIONS I WOULD ENJOY
EMBARRASSED HERSELF AND ME
BY POURING PERFUME OVER HIS FEET
COVERING THEM WITH TEARS
DRYING THEM WITH HER HAIR
SCANDALOUS
TO LET SUCH A WOMAN
APPROACH YOU IN A PUBLIC PLACE
TOUCH YOU
CONTAMINATION
AND HE PURPORTING TO SPEAK FOR GOD
HAS GOD DESCENDED TO THE PIGSTY LEVEL
THEN HE HAD THE AUDACITY
TO GIVE ME A LESSON ON MANNERS
AND A PARABLE ON BIG AND SMALL FORGIVENESS
THEN TO CAP IT ALL
TO TELL HER
HER SINS WERE FORGIVEN
IT’S TOO EASY
BUT HE’S A DREAMER
LIKE ALL THE OTHER REFORMERS
WHAT’S SHE GOING TO DO NOW
A WOMAN
WITHOUT A MAN
OR A TRADE
WHAT A USELESS PIECE OF BAGGAGE
PERHAPS HE’LL TAKE HER WITH HIM
I HEAR HE HAS A HAREM
AS FOR THE PARABLE
FORGIVE A DEBT
NEVER
GRIND THEM DOWN
MAKE THEM PAY
GOD REWARDS THE WEALTHY
THE POOR HE HAS NO USE FOR
WHO KEEPS THE TEMPLE
THE WIDOWS MITE
WELL I’VE HAD MY CURIOSITY SATED
I CAN’T WAIT TO TELL THE BOYS AT THE CLUB
IT COST ME A MEAL AND AN EVENING
IT’LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING
IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME
