Questions For John The Baptist
By Larry Linville
Oh John, who in the world were you,
where did you look to get your cue?
Tell me, was your clothing from God
or did you enjoy looking so odd?
Who put you on a diet like that,
were you afraid of getting real fat?
What’s the appeal for locusts, my friend,
or was that just all you had in the end?
What did you hear when you were a child
that made your manhood so very wild?
Did your mother tell of this cousin you had
when you were still such a young lad?
Had your paths ever crossed and did you talk
and did the two of you take a long walk?
Who convinced you he was the One
whom the world would know as God’s special Son?
