Devotions - Day 3

It was on the Tuesday
It was on the Tuesday that he gave it to them in the neck. If you had been there you would have thought that a union official was being taken to task by a group of back bench Tory MPs. Or that the chairman of a multinational corporation was being interrogated by left wing activists posing as shareholders. They wanted to know why and they wanted to know how. They were the respectable men, the influential men, the establishment. The questions they asked ranged from silly schoolgirl speculations about whether you would be a bigamist in heaven if you married twice on earth, to what was the central rule of civilised behaviour. They knew the answers already…. or so they thought, otherwise they would never have asked the questions. And like most of us they were looking for an argument with no intention of a change of heart. So he flailed them with his tongue… those who tried to look interested but never wanted to be committed. And that was on the Tuesday… the day when he gave it to them… to us… in the neck. |
