Jesus And Tomatoes - Kate Campbell

I bought a pack of seeds

Tennessee Bradleys

The best homegrown you’ll find

How it happened I don’t know

Must’ve been the Miracle-Gro

Oh, I could not believe my eyes

In my tomato bed

A holy image blood red

Smile, God loves you

I see him on the vine

This just might be a sign

Help me I’m confused

So many brands to choose

Jesus and tomatoes coming soon

Folks came from miles around

They laid their money down

To see that ripe phenomenon

It even made the evening news

And had a website too

This vegetable from heaven

(Or is it a fruit)

What rose up from the dirt

Now sells on t-shirts

The profits kept rolling in I prayed they’d never end

And filed for tax exemption

I heard a knocking at my door

It was a lawyer for the Lord

Saying don’t do this no more

I said come and dine with me We’ll have a BLT
