My Old Testament

Samson said I dig my dreads

my braiding ain’t bad too

babes hang like grape vines

trying to comb on through

Noah said I love to paddle

my boat can only hold one

talk to God or God to me

seems chartering much more fun

Eve said I dig this garden scene

love planting plants and trees

something‘s missing here about

maybe I’ll negotiate birds and bees

Jonah said ain’t fishing a blast

my rod and tackles the best

think I‘ll skip deep sea trolling

give the holy fresh water a test

Moses said I’m a chiseling fool

my chipping really does rock

so tired of making idols and such

maybe I’ll give writing a knock

Esther said I got dreams and goals

but I need to make a career move

i got a position that give me clout

but first my parents must approve

David said my arm in a sling

threw it out a skipping stones

just got to find me better way

of making my ripples known

Salomon said loved splitting wood

I know i could do a cord a day

figured to make some righteous cash

just need to keep the moms away

Rahab said i’m turning some heads

this old profession pays off some bills

maybe I should take some others in

then those damn collectors be still

Reynold said got stories like those folks

god graced me some writing time

but if I want to say a lot more

better learn to write a better rhyme
