Based upon the old game show,
"To Tell The Truth"

Jesus Christ sat in the booth,
His face marred
Disfigured youth.
His clothing gone
His beard torn out
Thorns on his forehead
Long & stout
Victim of severe attack
Many stripes upon His back

When contestants asked,
"What did you do?"
He simply said,
"I died for you."

The second chair
Seated modern man
The people didn't understand.
He had short hair
But a long beard.
And his costume?
VERY* weird!
Wore suit and tie,
But had blue jeans
The yamaka
Was strange, it seems...

Contestants asked,
"What did you see?"
He replied,
"The cursed man's tree."

The next subject was
Stranger still!
He didn't fit
The "Jesus" bill!
He was dressed
From head to toe
In finest silk
Gold, purple, blue!
His jewels were
The RAREST ones
In a crown upon hair spun
Of wool like that
Of a lamb slain
And eyes of fire!
He seemed to REIGN!

The contestants asked,
"Why are YOU here?"
The King replied,

" 'CAUSE I'LL APPEAR!"

The game show host
Was nervous then
He knew the show
Was at an end

He said in a shaking voice,
"OK, folks. Make your choice!"

They all chose. The #1.
So they ALL seemed to have won!

The game show host
Was then abrupt...

"Will the REAL JESUS
PLEASE STAND UP!"


Yes, they ALL had won,
#1 stood, you see...

THEY ALL STOOD UP.

HE IS ALL THREE!

This poem has to be read.
So many people look at
Jesus as a white guy in
Flowing robes. Nothing is
Farther from the TRUTH!
He was JEWISH! He had
Swarthy skin and short hair!
Long curls on either side
Of his face. A full beard
And Yamaka.

DEAL WITH IT!

Sorry for the rant.

Love,
Catherine
