Lac Leman

He stood in stance as Jesus Christ
Who up a top the Olive Mount
In peaceful garb did break the wave
Of future times to those below.
He drank the wine above the lake
From broken glass poured blood to mouth.
Communed with water, now as one,
Baptised in ice of Lac Leman.
Immersed ‘neath blue of mountain flow
Heroically he screamed in vain.
The miracle became erased:
The healthy man now lame becomes.
He calling forth the name of God
Did froth and foam like rabid dog.
The wine turned water soaked him through
And lo he needed cloth of new.
Homeward carried by his pal
His landlady wakened with a scowl
Who chucked him out upon his arse
and there endeth a sorry farce.
