What worth could be in a jawbone
Especially the jawbone of an
ass?
The best body to ask would be
Samson,
Please get him here fast!
It was a new jawbone
Perhaps placed there for
Samson’s use
Samson put forth his hand and
took it
And with it he let loose.
Swinging left and swinging right
The Philistines fell with each
swing,
When he finished a thousand
died
And only Samson was left in
the ring.
One thousand slain that day
With the jawbone of an ass,
One by one he took them out
And piled them in a mass.
Quite obviously, it was God
That had performed this
wondrous feat,
Alas though, Samson was tired
and thirsty
And not too steady on his
feet.
That new jawbone of an ass
Became a brand-new water
cooler
As God hollowed out the inside
And gave Samson a
thirst-quencher.
What an unusual weapon!
And it was a water decanter
too!
Make do with what ever you have
And God will surprise even
you.
