Bishop of Rome? Why him? Hot head!
Remember how he swore and cursed
when he thought no one was around?
Who could be more stubborn? “Rock head,”
was what we called him (when he was
not anywhere near by–he has
a temper and he always wears
a sword.) He should stick with his boats
and nets. Remember how he sank
when he looked down? How could he walk
on water with his size and bulk?
Yes, Jesus said he was a rock–
how we all laughed–a pile of sand
perhaps, just blowing in the wind…
a braggart till a serving maid
caused him to deny our Lord.
No one in school could ever teach
him how to talk right. Can he preach?
He will not ever help the Church–
Peter will not amount to much…

Love this one. So many who have best served people were considered my many, and sometimes themselves, incompetent. What do they (we) know?? God works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
