Lord

I'm sorry My Lord but I just don't believe,
please don't make me feel like a crook,
I guess it all started with Adam and Eve,
could you write a less plausible book?

The harder I try I just can't make it fit,
he created a woman from what?
If you'd given your lead a 'create woman kit',
that would have made for an interesting plot.

The story-line led us to curious heights,
that apple, the leaf and the snake,
I felt it was missing some marital fights,
their harmony seemed a bit fake.

All in all though, it was not a bad try,
your characters settled in well,
but they hardly compelled me to sit down and cry,
perhaps if you'd sent them to hell?

Despite what I've said though I really must say,
your writing shows promise and thought,
so remember my words, and please take them away,
and bring back the book that I've sought.

It's my job as your agent to tell you this now,
if you're upset then please let me know,
now please I don't want to get into a row,
just pull the door to as you go.

Lord I must thank you, I have your new book,
'tale of a Christian man',
I've only had chance now to take a quick look,
I'll get back as soon as I can.

The start wasn't good Lord, but I have read worse,
that section I think I will edit,
there was the odd interesting chapter and verse,
but I still wish that I had not read it.



But then came the book of the virginal birth,
I did like that bit in the stable,
you managed to combine compassion with mirth,
much better than with Cane and Abel.


I didn't quite get though the tales of his life,
and there were missed opportunities there,
I think that I'd give him some kids and a wife,
and his death seemed to me so unfair.


Despite these few flaws though, a nice little book,
and I think we'll be going to print,
don't get your hopes up but I think with some luck,
your tale may make you a mint.


Lord I must tell you, the sales are bad,
I'm sorry to bring you such news,
I know that It may make you feel quite sad,
it's because of those awful reviews.


But do not despair Lord, I have an idea,
we'll give your good book one last fling,
we'll re-write your work, god please do not fear,
I know a young author, James King.
