A Poetic Easter Story Poem by Clarence Prince

Once there was a woman called Esther
She was surely one who loves to jester
Her best friend was her cousin Lester
Often she'd visit Lester just to jester
She wouldn't miss visiting at Easter time
Mostly at Easter they'd share more wine
But Lester holds great faith in the Divine
He was always ready to lecture on Scriptures
He'd preach to anyone who'd listen to a lecture
With a drink Esther will listen to Scriptures
Hence to prevent foolish jester from Esther
And being as Lester is a cultivator of vines
He was never short of having wine at home
But there are times he hates drinking alone
Esther wasn't keen to learn of the Divine
Yet she goes all the while for the wine
The wine makes Esther more easily inclined
To listen to Scriptures concerning the Divine
Whenever Lester is teaching her Scriptures
He'd use the wine from his own vines
The drinking left Esther something to recall
Once while she was at Lester's home drinking
At times it seemed she wasn't thinking
For she bumped on the wall in the hall
Then a picture frame with tacks in it fell
By chance she then stepped on a tack
One by which the...frame was stuck
The tack gave Esther's foot a fester
And since then she's careful at Easter
That she shouldn't just drink and jester
Rather she should cling to the true Divine
Seeing that God is more than wine
And so are Scriptures at Easter times
The Lord will bless His Holy week
Whilst the Lord is there for all to seek
He is the helper of the meek and weak
Esther and Lester are both departed
But Easter weekend will come every year
In that case make this your best Easter
As some people will say, happy Easter!
