Hello, Is Jesus There Please? by Richard Crowther

He seemed so genuine,
Although I only met him once on the bus,
I hope I didn’t make a fuss, I just wanted to discuss

The Bible.

Perhaps he’d come to my workshop, and discuss

The Bible.

Such a nice man.

Sometimes, on the tram,
I call home, and talk to the machine,
And loudly I talk about

The Bible.

And I like to mention his name,
After mentioning

The Bible.

I was wondering if you wanted to discuss

Jesus

I say, loudly, into my Nokia, smiling.

He was so genuine,
Such a nice man,
So pleasant,
A man of

God.

He was in a rush though,
Understandable.
The work of

God

Is never ending,
Which is why I spread

The Word

When I can.

Hello, is Jesus there please?

    Rich – you sure you’ve not performed before? Your delivery was fantastic.

    I really have not performed before no. I was cacking my pants. I appreciate your disbelief though :)
