What Is In a Name

What’s in a Name? 

Jesus had been thrown out of the café, he tends
to get laud and argumentative after wine.
 Water into wine not a good idea.

Outside, he upended a few plastic tables, police
were called they drove him to the local station
put him in a cell at the back.

A cold cell after a few hours he was shivering
and they let him out he had a long walk home 
to the cottage he shares with his mother 

Jesus is a good lad, they all say so, and no one
but me is intrigued by his name, in this part 
of the world it is a common forename.
