What They Say About You (Part 1) Poem by Bob Oldfield
What They Say About You (Part 1)
They say
You changed the water into wine
But that it was
Probably non-alcoholic;
That you kicked the money changers
Out of the temple
But that you probably were wearing slippers
And that you did it 'in love'
Reports are that you somehow
Fed a ton of people with just a
Few bits of food...
But then you know what the newspapers are like...
Anything for a story.
And I hear
You were born in a warm, cosy stable
And all the sheep smiled, baa none.
Oh - I saw a picture of you recently
I actually thought your
Long, blond hair
Looked a bit hippy-ish.
Those blue eyes make you
So photogenic. I bet
Your parents must be very proud.
And then I find out that you're a sailor,
Of sorts.
Hmm. Well, that would explain some of
The questionable people you hang out with.
Sometimes I really think that you are a
Bit of a mystery
I probably should google you
Ahh........it's the mystery that keeps us all movin' on. Ya gotta have faith, or nothing is worth the effort. Maybe it's all a myth..........but then..........maybe not. Some things are best left a mystery. Nice perspective, Bob. Linda :)
Love the easy conversational style of this delightful parody of the good book. And yet there is nothing malicious in your light-hearted message. A refreshing change indeed in a site where people tend to take their beliefs very seriously. love, Allie xxxx

Christ, what a well-carpentered poem.. and I like that you left it unvarnished... Vines perform the same miracle, but who praises them? I guess because they take longer about it... Keep up the joinery...
