Good Company

An evening spent
In good company
Time with a friend
And a sip of tea

At first I could not see him when
He wasn't wearing his needed lens
What more his barber-ical error
I wouldn't have found him if not for his suspender

We then spoke on seemingly weighty stuff
Like justification, it is certainly tough
And oh! you see, before we're done
We need to explain sanctification, when it has begun

We pondered on the difficult parable
The Lucan one to understand, I'm hardly able
And the confusing dialogues are hard to cope
Those we find written in the book of Job

It was an evening spent
In good company
Time with a friend
And a sip of tea
