Mini Monoverse Story of Zacchaeus

Trek began

short guy ran

had a plan

crowd to scan

find God-man.



Carefully

climb a tree

patiently

wait to see

this, the key.



Jesus came

called Zac's name

not to blame

or to shame

love, His aim.



Without flack

down came Zac

they went back

to his shack

had a snack.



And so thence

Zac was tense

soon relents

then repents

his offense.



Did restore

to the poor

stole no more

settled score

evermore.

The story of Zaccheus is found in Luke 19:1-10
