God Said

In Genesis, God said, "I'm best!
And now I'll put you to the test!
There's work to be done
And it won't be fun -
But not today; I need a rest!"

Yes, I think we spend our lifetimes trying to pass the test. Cute the way God needs a rest after working so hard for six days. Love this limerick! Hugs, Carolyn

A fortnight's rest is long enough! Is IOM still safe from COVID-19? Aloha! Rico
