The Holy Week In Review

a wake in an Irish pub where a toast goes out to my Cuban mechanic Jesus "Hope the Devil don't know that I've died til half an hour after I've gotten to the other side." that says it hit the nail on the head while one was playing mumbly peg first the left then right hand two were playing chess his crowned pawn is now a king while three had rolled more away then stoned four were staggering home the extra one denying to his wife he never heard last call three times leaving me hanging around throwing coins of silver over confessing to the bartender i'll have another pouring a cup of recently turned water to wine it tastes corked tastes of vinegar another bottle please of Jesus
