Another holiday poem.
I was just walking in Spain the year was 1403
I was walking alone happy as can be
When a Monk came up talking to me
“Are you the town Atheist as they told me they see?”
I told him I was and asked if he knew my family
But he then got splash by a puddle, horse and buggy
He looked at his mess and then up again at me
With a twitch in his eye, scold’s “I feel the devil upon thee”
As he walks back looking at yours truly
He stepped in goat mess in nearly bare feet
I ran up to him and said “here have a seat”
As I pulled up a bail and slipped off his footwear
He then slapped my hands and screeched “how could you dare?”
But I still washed his foot with my water carafe
His dirty poop foot took my water to last
“My hands are still mess” I joked with a laugh
“Here take my boots, your scandals will match”
I offered the Monk and we then switch shoes
The monk was suspicious and said “is this a ruse?”
I cracked him a smile then replied “you have me confused”
He got up and said “these are really nice boots!”
“Sir if you don’t mind! May I go back with you?
Your shoes are not fine and my hands have goat poo”
He stood up straight to look at me “sorry but you can’t even repent”
He left me there dirty wondering what he meant
I bent to the puddle a washed off my fingers
Although it was gone the smell it just lingers
And I went to the cobbler to wrap up my feet
In some new sandals clean, nicer and neat
As I walked out the door
I was knocked out for sure
I awoke in a cell thinking ‘what for’
When a plate of food slipped in, tail of a bore
But I did not eat
I was pretty mad and the door I did beat
My cell was full of grime, rodents and hay
The walls show fluid stains of the grosses dismay
I kept my eyes closed and slept all that day
That night my neighbor explained to me “you should be restless
