(This is a poem written by a friend of mine)

Let me tell you of a fellow
Who thought himself kinds' Cool,
And he had an Older Brother
Who considered him a Fool!

Because he always spent his Allowance
And wound up without a thing,
He wished he had the Money
So he could really take a Fling!

He approached his Father, and said, "POP
IF WHEN YOU CROAK, YOU PLAN TO LEAVE ME A PILE,
WOULD YOU GO AHEAD AND DO IT NOW--
INSTEAD OF WAITING ALL THE WHILE?"

So he divided all that he had
Between the Younger and the Older,
And after a day or so the Younger
Became a whole lot Bolder.

Took all his money and went to Tijuana---
Really had him a Ball,
And when the money ran out
He commensed to take a Fall!

All his friends desserted him
Had to take a job on a Pig Farm,
He was cold, wet, tired, hungry and
Felt he as coming to lots of harm.

When he sobered up, he thought
Things aren't like this back at the Pad,
And maybe, if I straighten up--
I can return to dear ole' Dad.

So up and away he went
His plan just worked Great,
His Father saw him coming--
And met him at the gate.

He says, "FATHER, I'VE BEEN STUPID
AND ACTED LIKE A NUT."
Dad says, "YOU'RE FORGIVEN SON---
LET'S CELEBRATE, I'LL CALL PIZZA HUT!!

Then the Older Brother comes home
And he can tell things are kinda' hardy,
He says, "WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY ARE WE HAVING A PARTY?"

Someone said, "YOUR BROTHER'S BACK--
(YOU KNOW HE'S YOUR KIN)!"
Big Brother says,"AW PHOEY!"
And wouldn't even go in.

The Father, he came out
And said, "JUST WHAT'S WRONG?"
Brother says, "YOU BOUGHT HIM PIZZA--
AND YOU'VE NEVER BOUGHT ME A DING-DONG!"

The Father says, "ALL I HAVE IS YOURS--
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD SON,
WELCOME HIM BACK TO THE FAMILY--
IT WILL BE LOTS OF FUN!"

"BESIDES, YOU AIN'T HURT
DON'T THROW SUCH A FIT,
THE DOW IS UP 200--
AND MICROSOFT HAS SPLIT!"

"Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw-

I like this newer more understandable version of the Bible story Great job!

~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~
