The Secret Life of Jesus #383
When Jesus turned 28
(In the year 29)
He went to his 10th
High School reunion.
It felt really weird.
He had a beard by then,
And suffered through tales
Of romance and success.
Magdelene still
Had the hots for him,
And Judas seemed to have lost
A lot of money at cards.
Somebody dragged out
A yearbook, And there he was
In the class photo,
The tall one near the end
In the back row
Desperate to get out
Of Nazareth.
He was still
Living at home,
And when they asked
If they’d see him in ten years
At the next reunion,
He said “probably not.”
