There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Bob. <br />Bob loved God and feared God and tried not to sin. <br />One day, God told Satan, consider my servant Bob. Bob loves me. <br />Then Satan said, God, let me take a whack at him. <br />So God agreed. <br />The next day, Satan sent a mighty storm that killed all Bob's cattle, oxen, horses, sheep and foul. <br />He sent a plague which killed Bob's seven sons and three daughters. <br />Satan drove Bob's wife into the arms of a circus clown. <br />Satan burned Bob's home and barn and fields and Bob lost all his possessions. <br />Satan sent disease unto Bob afflicting him with boils, hemorrhoids, constipation and joint pain. <br />All Bob's friends thought Bob had sinned, so that God must be punishing him. They turned their backs to Bob. <br />They told Bob to curse God and die. <br />Bob called upon God for help, <br />But God answered not, his prayers. <br />So Bob cursed God and died. <br />And Satan laughed. <br />And God spoketh, saying, <br />Gee, <br /> I guess I should have seen that coming! <br />But Satan, have you considered my servant Job...<br /><br />bob eichen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-book-of-bob/
