Good Food, Good Meat

A bigot was thwarted by a jestful prayer.

"Good food, Good meat
Good God, lets eat"
Words uttered as grace
When friends of other faiths did meet
And one, being a bigot
Insisted on saying Grace
That would be offensive to those of other faiths
Who ate with them at that place.
And so, joking, the grace he gave
Before he and his friends ate
It was a Grace of his own
That belonged to neither faith.
God came to him in inspiration
When a bigot his savvy did test
And never a truer prayer was prayed
Never a truer word said in jest.

a fetchin' & catchy title & quote... I like!!
GOOD FOOD, GOOD MEAT was a fun & bonny good ride at a table graciously set.
I'll have to grace my table with the quote but I'll have to adapt it a bit.. (veg, I am,I am)
GOOD FOOD , GOOD TREAT, FEET, SEAT, TEAT, BEAT... I'll work on it..
Thanks for sharing... Check out Jesus Pork chops by GBU POETRY if you will.. It's kinda along
the same subject..kind of...

Subtle tip-toeing through the bigotry, the way to take!

Like the content, like the format .. a smile with intelligent meaning.

Short. Pithy. I like it. Good treatment to the subject, too.

I dont' get the meter or rhyming scheme, but I do like the story telling in this poem.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Cheers!
Doc.
