Lionel Alford Jr., Teacher

 

His parents named him Lionel

He’s lionlike as you can tell.

Unrolls for us the mystery.

Of authentic history.

 

Reads fragments of antiquity

And tests for historicity.

One thing’s for sure, he ain’t no geek.

Even though he knoweth his Greek.

 

Seeks primary, secondary,

Snubs those known as tertiary.

Reads the gospels and the Coptics,

Notes the dates of these and Gnostics.

 

His subject, the New Testament,

Theology not his intent.

Documents, bibliography,

Historical validity.

 

We now may view this subject with much more respect.

Indeed our minds may be a bit more circumspect.

He’s an author, pilot, engineer, and teacher too.

Is there anything that this young man cannot do?
