Resurrection

I did not know that when  
Lord  Jesus shed  
by heaven’s grace  
his cerements  
his purpose was to be  
a mirth maker,  
a clown.  
 
Yet there’s a fellow here  
insisting that it’s sound  
to claim the resurrection aimed  
to bring mankind  
some merriment.  
 
Should I take him  
at his word?  
 
Or has he said  
what’s known by anyone  
who’s Bible versed  
and looked up just where “mirth”  
is used within the holy text
and what it means**  
and whether it is ever said  
to be the resurrection’s gift
to anyone  
or its effect on men  
as something that’s untrue  
and quite absurd.
