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.
