At dVerse Laura is hosting Meeting the Bar with an invitation to write a tercet, choosing from a list either a compound word, or three words connected. I chose Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

“The world is charged with the grandeur of God.” Gerard Manley Hopkins
There Goes The Family Again 1. Typical father, running late of excuses, drove his son to the Bethlehem saloon for his starring role in a nativity play, and the customary custody handover, or Mary would let him have it. 2. What is it with Spanish mothers, is it true that every second male is named Jesus, for god's sake why? Are they all fishermen at play, pulling coins from the mouths of fish? 3. The father ordered a second round, the bar tender leered long at Mary, dad drew and shot him full of that one hundred percent proof 67 spirit, that got him cupid in the heart.

Jesus knew how much Peter liked to catch fish, so Jesus sent Peter down to the nearby lake to catch a fish. Jesus told Peter that there would be money in the fish’s mouth and that they would use that money to pay the tribute tax. Peter gladly obeyed the Lord, went down to the water, and the first fish he pulled in had a coin in its mouth.

Yes, that story popped in my head, not sure why, but I put it in anyway. I love that story so maybe that’s why. Thank you Jim.

I couldn’t resist. It follows the style somewhat of one of my early influences – Colin Landry, an Australian poet who worked in the US. Thank you Laura.

It’s not easy maintaining celestial meditation on behalf of this fallen world, is it?

Thankfully it isn’t down to just us, phew. But even so, it is draining, so no, not easy, and this you know well 😉

Interesting perspective on the father, son, and especially the (holey) spirit. I enjoyed this post in an odd sort of way.

I couldn’t resist a little bending of tradition (which I detest in many ways – a neck-brace if you ask me). Thank you for sharing this.
