"give us a king!" Israelites got loud
so Shmuel picked some guy who looked the part
who head and shoulders over-topped the crowd
heroic in his stature, not at heart
he's not the man to stop the Philistines
incompetent at warfare, and at math
it took his squire who's barely in his teens
to bring to earth their champion at Gath
a tragic segue before Jesse's son
closed out the Age of Judges and its strife
whose darling children knew that he's the One
Mikhal legitimized as eldest wife
failed monarch to unite the tribes and lands
who couldn't find his own ass with both hands
