A Worthless Fellow

2 Sam 20

Now Sheba was a worthless fellow,
A Benjamite who blew the trumpet real good.
Said, “We got no portion with King Dave!
To your tents, you men, everyone!”
Then David locked up his concubines; (3)
Had to break out and get on the run!
A wise woman called, “Hear, hear!”
“Come here that I may speak with you! (16)
Are you Joab?” said she. “I am” said he (17)
“Go ahead.  You can talk to me.”
“Why destroy a mother in Israel?” said she (19)
“Nuh uh” said he.  “Far be it from me!
But there’s a bad cat called Sheba
The son of a guy by the name of Bichri
Done lifted up his hand against the king,
A downright rebellion thing!” (21)
Well, they cut off that rebel’s head
And threw it right over the wall! (22)
And that was the end of it all.
