Swimming Lesson

Ancient Egyptians worshiped idols
Their slaves, the Jews, did too

So, to the Lord the angels complained
On Your holiness do You desire a stain

Why save these two groups of idolaters
Drown them both in the sea several kilometers

Yet the angels didn't get their way
For ill-treating Jews, Egypt paid...

Sure, the Lord says pray only to Him
But if you don't ~ Make sure you can swim

Ha.... ha ! This is cute. In a way... correct too. If we can swim across God's wrath cleverly, we can safely land ashore !
