It came about on the next day that Moses sat down to judge the people
Already I don’t like
the sound of this.
Was attendance at the judging
mandatory?
Did Moses’ father-in-law really
judge him about being a judger?
Was there a consolation prize if
the judging didn’t go your way?
Did the people in second and third place
get record contracts anyway?
If I built a glass house would you
be impressed with my transparency
or ask me to put up curtains?
We’ve only just crossed the sea.
How are there already so many
conflicts to judge?
If we take Jethro’s suggestions
big government starts right here.
Being judged at all times is a lot of pressure
to always be on our best behavior.
Seriously, our feet are still wet.
Couldn’t we let the sound of the timbrel,
ring a little longer?
