Time Is of the Essence

The Bible has so many pages
Each reviewed and approved by sages
And when they were through
No one had a clue
As they took to the Middle Ages!

In 331 AD, Emperor Constantine oversaw a rewrite of the Bible. Some things, like references to reincarnation, were eliminated. With all the wisdom in the Bible, it is ironic that the Middle Ages seemed to set back civilization. Excellent and meaningful limerick, Rico!

King James tried to make sense of it, but "history" records as many "facts" as Donald J. Trump did! Aloha! Rico
