The Good ---

They say that in the Holy Land so very far away there really are SAMARITANS who to this very day at Eastertide, or round that time, but wait, who comes our way? Some long-haired wandering type, I'd guess but let us listen for a jest to what he has to say. "My names are one and many, to some I was Jim Crow, GOOD AFRICAN is what you'd write if you should choose to know." "My name is Sean O'Hara, your old neighbor from the Falls, GOOD MAN, put down that rifle before the thing recoils." "My name is Isaac Mandelbaum. Your face I mark it true. It is so clear that you should write quite plainly THE GOOD JEW." You are an actor, do admit, but me you'll not take in. To change the words of Holy Writ would be an grievous sin. I'm sure it says SAMARITAN in the Bible on my shelf, but if you do not believe me, Sir, go read the text yourself.
