Quatern Nr.05 — Good Friday Revisited

When the world went dark at 3 o’ clock    
stock-market dealers pencilled a pause    
vipassana healers went into shock    
science researchers looked for a cause    
    
political pundits wheedled for more    
when the world went dark at 3 o’ clock    
theology students dithered, unsure -    
the weight of history stood in the dock    
     
all of a sudden there came a ‘Knock, Knock!’    
with Hades invaded, ghosts were surprised    
when the world went dark at 3 o’ clock    
choices were made concerning the lies    
     
old-dog retrievers peed on the tree    
blocking the minds of the flock with a lock    
but canny believers sensed they were free    
when the world went dark at 3 o’ clock.
