Being Relevant

by Tim Gibson

There I stood in shirt and tie,
And to the tribal chief said, "Hi!"
"Ugh!" was all that he could say,
So I took my Bible and said, "Let's pray!"

I went through the 5 spiritual laws,
And when I finished there was a pause,
So I said, "let's say the sinner's prayer."
I bowed my head, he pulled my hair!

The skulls around his neck they rattled,
He pulled, I pulled, and thus we battled.
My wig came off with a mighty "Whoosh,"
And flew right into a nearby bush.

The chief was stunned and bowed his knee,
And then he seemed to worship me.
I said, "No, no, you must not do that,
Let's continue our little chat."

I said, "Do you confess all of your sin
And Invite the Lord to come on in?"
A simple, "Ugh!" is all I heard,
So I took him at his word.
