James Horn Poet Couplet

God Will Overlook

God Will Overlook

For God, would you want to go to work
As maybe quite a genius or plain old clerk
Milking many cows or working in a field
Hoping to produce a very good yield.

How about being plumber or a typist
Be in a beauty pageant and hard to resist
Or just judge sitting there who will wait
Then after best is chosen begin to celebrate.

As all my days increase and a poet may be
Always trying my best and others agree
Then God started administering His test
Discovered just being your self is the best.

Don't find yourself false, but to God be true
Even though on His test may miss a few
Come to think of it, I am a miserable cook
Thank goodness, my cooking He will overlook.
