The Sunday School Poem by lamutuwa Ngaikalbandi

The Sunday School



Jerry in a sunday school class was once asked,
the adventures of Paul and Moses and Job? .
The prophets outlived in the holy scriptures.
In not a broken tongue of poetry he said;

'can not me say `bout paul the apostle,
heard twas long when he trailed Damascus,
heard married he, the pen in writers club
for just some freewrites to Corinth and Rome.

Can i then spell the forklores of Moses? .
The scenes of his staff and the parted Red sea? .
Read but was lost with shakespear in the rain forest,
read was at the play '40 miles from Egypt'.

Oh how tragic the tale, the tale of patient Job! .,
he the man of splendour was then tried through hell,
left with no penny and struck with Hiv? .
Yet not a voice raised against the holy One'.

And the class turned violent with them open ribs,
the cackles so wild, lo his voice came again.
'i love that of Elijah, the great scientific one,
who by hardworks through flames trailed the space'.
