“THE FIRST FOUR GOSPELS ENCAPSULATED IN(TO) A LITTLE POEM.” a poem, a.k.a.: “Having A Good Wilderness Experience.” 10 October 2019 (Thursday)

“If you ‘sacrifice yourself ‘ enough for others, you’ll feel like you’re on a cross.”

If you are VERY mindful of the needs of others, you become “your brothers’ keeper” and Maybe THE BOSS.

If you forget entirely about yourself, you suffer and aren’t much good,

For helping anyone, including yourself. I just wish you would:

“TAKE YOUR LIFE A BIT EASIER & NOT JUDGE YOURSELVES TOO MUCH.”

Oh, and watch out for lawyers, (pause) and, if people come and touch,

You on your garment’s hem and they say: “YOU HEALED ME,”

JustSay: “It’s especially good fabric,” AND (pause) SHOW GEN ERO SIT Y,

By giving some of your clothes to a persecuted prostitute or naked bloke.

You might EVEN give away your especially nice, seamless cloak,

For, in H e LL, you really don’t need a lot to wear,

And remember: You can make “HELL” for yourselves almost anywhere,

Even at home, if you just don’t mostly agree, (Pause & take a deep breath.)

With your mama, ’cause: “IFmAMAaIN’ThAPPY, NOoNEiS,” (pause)

AND Occasionally sing songs at “KAR A O KE,

MANGERS,” songs of Good Will to All Men,

Because: IFyOUcANsING&dANCE&hELPoTHERSaLITTLE,

You’re doing betterThanMost. AMEN.

OH, YEAH,* and Don’t go around eating too much, especially around your wife;

She’s liable to say: “You’re a glutton,” (pause) and (pause)

“Eating’s the MOST important thing in your rotten life,”

And she might TAKE YOU TO THE WILDERNESS & not feed you very much there,

And just ask questions and make demands and give you a quizzical stare; (pause)

Even IF you tell her you love her, DON’T SLEEP IN, just “wake the dead,”

And get to work, helping out others, “Especially your wife,” SO IT IS SAID.

* – I almost forgot.
