They didn't know
Whether it should be
The eleventh commandment
The first amendment
To the Ten Commandments
Or the Commandment Codicil
One bloc argued
There were loopholes
To be closed
Another group liked
The round number ten
Why spoil it with twelve or thirteen
One prophet who looked like Jerry Garcia
Said we forgot to tell them enjoy life
Follow the rules but have fun in between
And another camp voted for
Forty more commandments
Just to be sure
A quasi-Buddhist splinter faction
Pushed to add Jesus's words
Love one another
They never settled a thing
With the stone tablets
Missing
The Framer's intentions
Were impossible
To divine
They weren't even sure
Moses had turned the tablets over
To see the other side

This is good.

The other side nothing--just like the first side should have said.
