The Tale Of Two Poets

Though dreams may come and dreams may go, One dream stays in my mind... It was of Christ, that much I know, Yet modern day to find... He preached to poets in a crowd, To all men everywhere, If of the Gospel they are proud And still intent on prayer. Christ told the tale of modern men, Two poets side-by-side, Who chose computers, not the pen, Their poems to provide... Each seated there before the screen, Content to type away... Until God chose to intervene... One solemn fateful day... Computer hard drives don't last long, Two poets soon observed... Technology is not that strong... The poets were unnerved! The first decided he'd update And buy a new PC... The second chose to hesitate And chose to disagree... His first intent was to replace And yet he had his doubts! Another PC to embrace? With all its perks and pouts? With all its programs to download? With all its joy and pain... Oh, no! he sighed. Forget that road! I'll not go there again! Instead, he gave up poetry! He sold the things he could And gave the cash to charity, Perchance to do some good! When God looked down, He loved each one, For each heart had its worth... And blessed them both for what they'd done, Since each one blessed the Earth... The crowd agreed, if God was pleased And every poet prayed And thus, by faith, from great to least, Continued unafraid... Their poetry spread far and wide, To north, south, east and west... Revitalised by Christ inside Who helped them write their best! Denis Martindale, copyright, March 2012.
