The Martyr

 

I came upon a martyr

Who’d nailed himself on to a cross

He looked a little God-like

He seemed a little lost

 

I said, “Sir, can I help you?”

But he just smiled a saintly smile

And said, “Why not come up and join me

You’ll get to like it in a while

 

The hard wood is my comfort

Each nail is like God’s kiss

The pain it brings me solace

The agony is bliss”

 

So like any Good Samaritan

I helped him out that day

I kicked him in the testaments

Then I went on my way
