The 23rd Psalms

23 The Lord is well peppered;
I shall add salt,
2 He laid out the green peppers;
and poured the chili sauce,
3 all into my bowl;
that's filled generously with cut steak.
4 In the taste test, my eyes began to water.
He smiled at me, as I ate happily.
5 He set the table for my friends who said that they
were sorry as He poured the hot sauce,
and their eyes began to water.
6 We were full and begged for mercy, no more please,
and in the following days;
We all ate at the house of our Lord;
Forever.

Miranda Hawley May 24, 2024 at 4:50 PM This was a humorous version of Psalm 23. Good job with an entry that was a bit different than I expected. Congrats! William Kelii Kekaula May 25, 2024 at 12:00 AM Miranda, your generosity is beyond reproach. Some find my levity of The Word as a sign of disrespect--show where The Word says that, naysayer, casting fear, doubt--hypocrites doing the devil's due. <--I believe this (my mom) Your Expectations. Mines resounding methinks, Aloha, William

Paula Goldsmith April 23, 2024 at 9:34 AM I enjoyed reading your very creative Psalm 23 write. Good Luck... Are you cooking??? Have a blessed day writing away......................... William Kelii Kekaula April 23, 2024 at 10:58 AM Unsure if contest was regarding one's occupation because I wasn't a cook, but I worked in the hotel industry. I am grateful for your sharing, Paula. Aloha, William
