flashed that fancy rainbow coat
his Pop had given him
until his brothers just about
had born as much as they could tolerate.
they tossed him in a hole
and sold him to a passing band
of camel jockeys on their way to Egypt.
The long tale short
sees Joseph in and out of prison,
reading dreams and finding favor with the king.
He saves the land from famine,
even saving starving refugees
who then turn out to be his long-lost bro's
and aging Pop full circle reunited now.
Through all these years, he'd never lost
his arrogance, nor lost his faith in God.
Who ever said "The Lord does work
in strangerst ways," most surely must have thought
of Josept when they said it.
