Too Kind for His Own God

God told Abraham, Go forth from your father’s house Take no one else besides Sarah, your spouse But Lot went with them, Abraham was too kind He just couldn’t say no, and Sarah wouldn’t mind Well, the Almighty was upset; To Himself He harumphed Does Abraham think disobedience can triumph? So, to Kindly Abe God no longer appeared or spoke -- * ‘til Lot’s shepherds stirred up trouble, and Abraham awoke Told his nephew, We’ve got to separate right away Lest the family quarrel, we must not delay So, Lot’s shepherds went one way, Abraham’s the other And God said, My Words to Kind Abe I can once more uncover ____________________________________________________ *After Lot joined Abraham on his journey, God stopped speaking to Kindly Abe - until the latter parted ways with his nephew. Note: The title is not a mistake: Abraham and Sarah were the only monotheists in the world until Abe converted 318 men, and Sarah converted many women, to monotheism in Haran later on.
