“John by Maisie Aletha Smikle
John the baptizer
Son of Liza
Ate no appetizer
And had nothing with fertilizer
Chosen to lead
He took heed
Filled with glory
He told the story
To get a flannel
They disrobe a camel
John wore it's skin
To keep warm within
While they lavish in castles
And ate lambs laced with honey
John lived among bristles
Eating locusts glazed with honey
John had no land
Nor a band
He kept no herd
Nor flocks of bird
Called he was indeed
None could do his deed
And keep up to speed
Paving the way to lead
John had no money
But he had honey
John used a staff
And kept no arms
God's enemies hated John
He threatened their insidious wrong
John called out the wretched
For light to expose their throng
Indeed none could do the deed of John
Who took martyrdom
For the Kingdom
Then ascended for his mission on earth was done”
