Jesus, Demon Dispatch

There once was a man who lived in the graves, for many demons had made him their slaves. But when Jesus he met he would never forget this complete stranger, willing to make waves. When no longer the demons could torment to a swine herd, they besought to be sent. Jesus met their request; human herd coalesced all supplying their advice and dissent. To steer clear of more demon disaster, the man pleaded to make Jesus, Master. "Go home," Jesus commends, "with your neighbors be friends - what I need now is a good newscaster."

Pigs weren't a Jewish food source. This validated their unclean nature to the listeners.

You are quite welcome, posting is the easy part. A dispatcher is one who gets rid of the unnecessary - the demons were sent into the pigs, the pigs went into the water on their own. Did the demons drown with the pigs, hopefully so.

A brilliant story written within the limericks, and the last limerick, wow . . .

I thank you, Indiana Shaw. I know some wonderful Shaws in S. indiana. I welcome your comment and appreciate your encouragement. Not sure it fits the prompt; but Jesus is about as famous as one can get in my book.
