What If God I Had Hired

A Thought Transpired;
What If God I Had Hired?
Who would get fired?

Jim Horn

Probably a football coach the way
things appear to be looking right now....

Limerick: Once a Barrister hired a Spinster

Once a Barrister hired a Spinster
To work his pump short of a sphincter
She bought piston and nuts
Fixed up the leaking guts
Then Spinster married Barrister’s sister.

to guide me toward the sanity that there is one out...

day-to-day each one is a hired soldier..
fighting in their own battlefield..
not to kill a criminal or a terrorist..
rather a person striving for better life..

who can definitely say one's reason for living?

allow me to say that each one...

One time I hired a monkey 
He took notes for me in every class 
I would just be sittin’ there 
My mind a happy blank 
Well my monkey, kept busy 
Scribbling on little paper pieces 
At the end of the fourth week 
Teacher succinctly said,...

Hired Hand

and so we see, 
That some are in the hands of God because they love him, his son, and his commandments.
While others point the finger of their false Gods
and teach a false Christ to their neighbors.
and Jesus exalts his holy father in heaven and...

“Poor Silas, so concerned for other folk,
And nothing to look backward to with pride,
And nothing to look forward to with hope,
So now and never any different”.......Robert Frost

Feeling old bones resist the labor of harvest
One last time Silas has returned, alas this time for good
To earn...

Santa Claus hired a dragon, Donnie Draco
to bring shy elves out of their cocoons;
he trains them to deliver the presents,
as meeting humans for them, is not pleasant.

Humans are huge and tower over elves,
and they would prefer just to sit on shelves.
Donnie's courage lends them strength;
don't...

Ended up in trouble and can't be denied;
Was only opening up from deep inside
Expressing what my opinion had been
Which ended up being a mortal sin.

As you read a poem you start to think
Should it be thrown the kitchen sink;
What had been applied forced rhyme;
Some people...

Gone are those times,  if ever such times were seen
When rustic shepherds shepherd their flock on nutritive green
Shepherds now lead their sheep to calamity and damnation
But today, the sheeps cry out for urgent and drastic redemption 
Weary and tired in their age-long captivities 
Now...

Once a business man jumped
At the chances to rally reality crunch
Name calling and delivering a hunch
You’re now with us just a servant

Dad keeps pestering me.
   He wants to go see Al and he wants me to go along.
"Come on; it'll only take a little while," he coaxes.
   The thought of the old man, I curl my teenage lip.
   Even when...

(This is a true story)

His daughter died because he was a cheapskate.
He was tight with his money and she met a horrible fate.
He had a lamp that needed to be rewired.
He did it himself instead of getting a professional that he should've hired.

His daughter was...

Hired Her Here

Then out of no where she was there
Came to share her beauty beyond compare
Out of our great land seemed so fair
Causing each one of us to sit and stare.

With beaming smile, she set boat sailing
At St. James her beauty they were unveiling.
Smiles smooth...

We used to have a wonderful crew at work.
Sixteen, men who thought alike.
Then someone upstairs decided to hire two female engineers.

They hired the wrong two.
These interlopers are not demure, dainty or feminine.
They are brazen vixens.
With their bobbed hair and their wanton ways.
They read the financial...
