Lisle Ryder Poet Limerick

Words That You Spout

“You are not defiled by what you ingested
that passes to the bowel as food digested.
     No. It is what comes out
     in foul words that you spout
that shows your heart is with evil infested.”

Mark 7.1-23

L Milton Hankins May 14, 2021 at 4:08 PM So true, Lisle, and stated in such an unusual form. You know? Limericks are usually humorous and a bit bawdy. Thanks. Lisle Ryder May 18, 2021 at 4:49 AM Thanks Milton. I'm hoping to submit a collection to the Bible Society.
