INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL

INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL

Way back then, Noah had clearly read the signs
Here and now, so very few of us are left
I’m Goliath, frontman for the Philistines

Without my trusty visor, I am bereft
But I am very tall, and not a small ‘un
With his sling, David did seem to be so deft

There are a lot of rumours that you will hear
All about my having risked both life and limb
But no need for pity, nor to shed a tear

Some might say that my ego may be swollen
I was up there once, but I am now down here
As an angel, I am considered fallen

I’m but one of what were many Nephalim
Yet unlikely to ever feature in any hymn
