Messiah
A court required parents
To amend their baby’s name.
He can’t be called Messiah
For to some, it might inflame.
Messiah’s age is seven months;
He lives in Tennessee.
I guess for savior wannabes,
It’s not the place to be.
The laws are different state to state,
So parents should take heed –
If your state rejects Messiah,
It’s a miracle you’ll need.
