People Of The Book

What do we, People of the Book,
think of today's new bibles?
Does one contain a better hook?
No shortages of rivals.

"In the beginning", what a phrase!
But nowadays, passé.
We've traded preaching from the dais
for preaching the cliché

The Bible, truly, I believe
like all good works of fiction
gets signed for sequels, but they leave
one, lacking benediction
