Jacob’s ladder

God had a summer house
In a private cloud, he needed a house painter
Jacob took the jo, and the deity sent
Down a ladder and it was a long climb for Jacob
He was met by God, who wasn’t sure which colour
He should choose, the painter looked around
And suggested light mahogany colour it would
Give God a feeling of adventure in and otherwise
Pleasant environment.
God liked the idea and sent a couple of angles
To fetch the paint.
It took the painter two days to do the job and
He got hungry asked for food, and the deity said
We usually don’t eat up here, but nevertheless
Sent an angel to find Jacob a burger.
When returning, he was blessed by God, for that
He was thankful but asked for money as he had a wife
and children to feed.  Of course, God said I understand
And gave Jacob 4 gold coins which value could buy a bank
And he did and become the founder of a dynasty.
Going down took long as you can imagine walking
Downwards on a ladder is stressful but he made it
And lived to tell the tale.
