71) A Curious Genealogy (The Dog Series 34)

 

       Wolran Kim


 

Proud Toby’s mother was the champion of the dog show

He is very boastful of his ancestry of champions

Toby’s haughty eyes show it off often

Do you think yours is much better than mine?

Don’t make me laugh! What’s wrong with me?

 

History begins from evil deeds and Adam and Eve being kicked out

And Cain kills his brother from cruel jealousy by Yahweh’s unfairness

And Noah calls upon the curse of his son from naked drunkenness

And Abraham makes his wife become the Pharoah’s concubine from weakness

And Lot chooses Sodom and Gomorrah from greed

And Jacob takes away the right of primogeniture from dirty worldly wisdom

And Rachel steals her father’s image for her husband from cunningness

And Tamar carries on a family line with her father-in-law from insolentness

And Moses hits the Meribah rock with his tongue from anger

And Rahab attaches herself to a victor from craftiness

And Samson falls into an idle world against the Nazarite vows from stupid rage

And David commits a fault with Bathsheba from loose morals

And Jonah runs away from Ninevah from stubborn resistance

And Hezekiah receives 15 extra years of life from blatancy

And Manasseh makes his sons pass through the fire from cruelty

And Job kneels down from pain from frailty

And Hosea becomes the last king of Israel after killing Pekah from misfortune

And Peter denies Jesus Christ after following him from weakness

And Juda is famous as the very last traitor of mankind from ignorance

In spite of all these inheritances of clever and firm stupidity

 

In spite of

I’m forgiven in spite of these

I have the Redemption blood in spite of these

I’m blessed with a chosen favor in spite of these

 

In spite of these, my name is on the genealogy of Heaven

A saucy, young Toby! Is the champion line such a big deal?
