While tidying within the Great Throne Room,
An angel happened on the must-do list:
☐ Get born
☐ Keep warm
☐ Face doubts and looming doom
☐ Be miserably betrayed by one fool kiss
☐ Stand wordlessly while justice comes unglued
☐ Hang arms akimbo till the face turns blue
☐ Maintain a somber, stiff-lipped attitude
☐ Look heavenward and quote Psalm twenty-two
☐ Look heavenward and quote Psalm twenty-two
☐ Shout imprecations at the demons there
☐ Compel the evil one to shred the spell
☐ Compel the evil one to shred the spell
The angel smirked: He checked off each, no doubt,
And earned that thrill one feels when clocking out.
