– hay un cuate en el pueblo que me debe unas monedas.
.
Y El Señor habló:
Mañana tendré un largo día.
Entonces, déjenme relatar un chiste más,
pues demos el día por terminado.

Y Jesús se inclinó en sus codos y preguntó:
¿Han oído ustedes el cuento del hombre que piensa que ha visto a un fantasma?

Judas Iscariot
.
Judas,
son of Simon,
one of the twelve.
it is said
he was driven by greed,
a malcontent,
or was he?
the betrayer of Christ,
a tool of the devil,
or used of God.
the reward for
his misdeed,
suicide;
a grave in
a field of blood.
Judas, vilified,
forever accursed,
hated by all
but God,
who sent him.

The Last Supper of Judas Iscariot
.
Judas was right
to wait until after dessert.
If only for the Saviour of Mankind
to finish his coffee and pie.
.
He knew his Master
would not be happy
about any of it.
.
While his dimwit brothers
shared a glass of Port,
He, whose name would
be called betrayer, said
He would pass, thanks.
.
Judas was right, but
He hated long goodbyes: I’ll see you in the garden, later.
There’s a guy in town
who owes me money.
.
The Lord spoke: I’ve got a long day tomorrow.
How about one more joke,
And we’ll call it a night.
.
Then he leaned onto
his elbows and he asked: Did you hear the one
about the guy who thinks
he’s seen a ghost?
