was annoyed, so he said, “Fine! Eat!
To your groans I’ll submit;
I’ll feed you meat till it
leaks out your nostrils. Won’t that be neat?!”
Numbers 11:18–20
Don’t Ignore This
His story is found in the Torah.
It’s something you should not ignora:
he rebelled ‘gainst Moses,
and that was atrocious,
so the ground devoured old Korah.
Numbers 16:32
Poor Balaam
I should like to point out that Balaam
never, not once, did he regale ‘em
except with the true word
that he from Yahweh heard.
Why do we constantly assail ‘im?
Numbers 22:2–24:25
Unicorns
So I find myself somewhat forlorn
by Bible translations which are shorn
of that mythical beast
found in the Middle East,
for I believe in the unicorn.
Numbers 23:22; 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9–10; Psalm 22:21; 29:6; 92:10; Isaiah 34:7 in the KJV.
That’s Certainly Coitus Interrupted
Now Phinehas was zealous of course,
but may have used a bit too much force.
In a moment of zeal
with his spear of firm steel
he skewered the two mid-intercourse.
Numbers 25:6–8
Zelophehad’s Daughters
Biblical law was left incomplete
till Zelophehad’s daughters could meet
with Moses to request
that their father’s bequest
be delivered to them tout de suite.
Numbers 27:1–11
Deuteronomy
Give it to a Stranger
If, while you’re walking in nature,
you find a carcass, this is danger.
Don’t eat what you find dead,
you are pure, so instead
you should give it all to a stranger.
Deuteronomy 14:21
Debt Cancellation
Christians who call for castigation
of those pledging debt cancellation
as part of their campaign
are reminded again
that it’s Jubilee realization.
Deuteronomy 15:1
Jubilee
“Let’s read the Bible literally,”
they say, “and obey it completely,
except we will leave out
all those verses about
cancelling debts in the Jubilee.”
