All the best girls are Christian,
Which tends to prohibit
The reading of pre-marital books;
Scarcely is the dust jacket
Removed,
The covers
Parted,
When the book is slammed,
Injuring my
Nose.

It makes me wonder about
The reading habits,
The reading preferences,
Of Christ.
Did he read books with Mary Magdalene
(As some scholars have postulated)?
Just who was married at the wedding in Cana?
And were any books perused beforehand?
