He must have understood the problem, because the next day he wrote this. I'm not sure I share his enthusiasm over the quality, but we agree on the sentiment. The verse of Virgil, Dante, and the chaps Who wrote of wars and wrath, And journeys after Troy, And all the writ the seers churned out, Are nothing to the priceless lines of Jesus "J" Monroy. REFRAIN: I've read choral, I've read lyric, And I've read *all* the epic works; But I'd not read the truth in verse, 'Til I read Jesus' masterwork. However, there's a promiscuous streak, Which I can scarce approve: He posts to polloi What should be relished by few: The genius of the lovely words of Jesus "J" Monroy REFRAIN: I've read choral, I've read lyric, ... His namesake worked the hot long days Seeking the lame to cure: This Jesus only toys, A huckster with his promised thrills. What a shy and diffident god is Jesus "J" Monroy! REFRAIN: I've read choral, I've read lyric, ... His namesake rode a palm-strewn street; But "J" can *never* say, "the master would employ": There's no parade, and if there were, He is his own -- the only ass is Jesus "J" Monroy L'ENVOY: But as much as the love of his words, Replaces for me the music of birds, Were he not here to annoy, I can't but reflect on my joy -- When the birds are gone, so are the turds. ---------- Carson S.K.
