Jack Henry

i respect jesus
because he knew how to cheat

why cast a line,
when a basket can be filled w/
a cough?

why bake a loaf,
when you wink the bin full?

why open a winery,
when you just blink at a glass?

if i had the same skill as
that, i wouldn’t be so noble

instead of fish, it’d be steak
instead of bread, a hooker named betsy
instead of wine, it’d be whiskey

we all have our needs,
i guess the world’s better off
that i am jack and not jesus
