23rd psalm

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…”

David, the thought of lying down in green pastures

Gives me chiggers.

But still the pounding rhythm drones on and on and on;

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…”

Stop telling me what I don’t want.

David, I want nap time; I need recess.

I want the world to chill out and relax.

I want to run to the top of a hill,

Let the sun set on still waters,

Watch world peace break upon the horizon

Spilling yellow, orange and pink across the sky.
