That Dude Goliath
He's full of bombast
Big Mother
Hardly ever engages
Full on.
Just has to huff and puff.
Opposition are wetting
Themselves.
Just look at his size.
Weapons don't often get
Drawn into sunlight.
But this time Baby Brother
Delivers lunch to his kin.
Hears the Big Oaf
Maligning the God of
Israel Angel Armies.
David (that's his name).
Turns to trusty Shepherd's
Weaponry.
Sling, stones, good running start.
Let's fly, and Giant
Goes down...
I said DOWN, DEAD.
OH YEAH.
HALLELUJAH.
No overtime for this fight.
God was on that stone.
