Christlike

 

How does Jesus take his coffee? Before

he goes to bed, does he floss or just brush?

If he’s had seconds, does he ask for more?

 

Does he dance, or sing, play guitar? In rush

hour traffic, does he fidget? When he gets the blues,

does he cry, smoke a joint? How does he hush

 

his dog? Does he have a dog? If he knew

something, would he say something? In a war,

would he pick a side? What would Jesus do?
