THE FIG AND I

Lindsley Rinard

Consider the design
artichoke
pomegranate
mango
all the rest--
What joy, what fun
God must have had
When He created
Every one.

I’m not so sure
About His joy
Certainly He has
No fun
When He sees how
The human race
Has run.

To think -- a lowly
Fig might be
More pleasing to
God than we.
