Iondustrious Was Not Seated

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The authors of Genesis, Ecclesiastes, Psalms and Proverbs
were seated at a table with Isaiah, Matthew, Mark and Luke. 

They were dining and drinking and high-fiving each other
for having written the most famous book
in the Christian world.

These  authors were in great spirits because

their royalty payments had just been delivered.

Someone who was not in great spirits and who was not 

seated at this table was Iondustrious.

Like everyone at the feast, Iondustrious–then

a cub reporter for the Palestine Palaver–

was hired by Bibles Inc. to contribute

to THE BIG BOOK.

Iondustrious was selected to report

on God's anatomical output.

He wrote things like

In the old factory, where God made all the noses...

But his report never made it into THE BIG BOOK.

However,  Iondustrious begat two words:

"olfactory" and "industrious."

No dictionary acknowledges
the Biblical source of those two words.

No history book acknowledges Iondustrious
and, of course, the Bible never mentions his name.

He has never been credited for existing
until this very moment.
