Who Da Baby Daddy? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Being good isn’t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin’ to me
He’d come and tell me everything is all right
He’d kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was

The above is what Dusty Springfield sang,
The above title is what Maury Povich brings,
The sordid story this writing is based on comes to us from Decatur, Georgia,

(DECATUR, Ga. (Nov.19) - The 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch is at the center of a sex scandal of biblical dimensions: He slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her……)

Sex scandals have rocked the Bible,
Judah is one,
Psalms aren’t the only act David sings,
David did play a “G” string on his harp and others as well,
Bathsheba, the lady who rocked David, is the one,
No doubt Swaggert and numerous priests did someone,
Injustice
That is biblically pathetic.
So have the holy men do what they studied to do,
Have illicit sex, with their daughters,
brothers’ wives,
prostitutes,
It’s all there in the good book,
Hardly, am I sympathetic.
I am for the fallen brethren,
Because by their standards I am not all that bad,
Not to play their final judge,
I am just being prophetic.
