School Dazed

Angels. How many they asked Could dance on the head of a pin? I’m thinking Why are they dancing Don’t they have wings? Rocks Could God make one So big He couldn’t lift it? I’m thinking Have you seen my book bag? Martyrs Nuff said. I’m thinking No one’s showing up for the tryouts. Fasting Look, I’m a kid I’m thinking It’s a cookie Game over. Math She asked How much is one plus one I’m thinking You mean you don’t know? She called my name Asked what I was thinking I’m thinking PBJ, six Oreos, chocolate milk. John G. Lawless ©3/17/2023

Sounds about right! A rock so big that God couldn’t lift it…have you seen my book bag. I think similarly about planet earth hovering in space with all the weight aboard!
