Nothing I can do

Haiku of learning

Wrong race and wrong creed.

The man puts the woman off

when she asks for help.

Nothing I can do;

the food is for the children,

it’s not for the dogs.

That is so, she says,

but even dogs may consume

table scraps that fall.

Good point, says Jesus,

You got me! Your faith is strong;

your daughter is healed.
