  <em>Whatever it was, I think I shook it off.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Except my head hurts and I stink:Except</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>what is this place and what am I doing here?</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em> </em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Brother, you’re in a tomb. You were dead four days.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Jesus came and made you alive again.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em> </em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Lazarus, listen, we have things to tell you.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>We killed the sheep you meant to take to market.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>We couldn’t keep the old dog, either.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>He minded you. The rest of us he barked at.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Rebecca, who cried two days, has given her hand</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>to the sandalmaker’s son. Please understand</em><br /> <em> we didn’t know Jesus could do this.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em> </em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>We’re glad you’re back. But give us time to think.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Imagine our surprise to have you—well,</em><br /> <em> not well, but weller. I’m sorry, but you do stink.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>Everyone, give us some air. We want to say</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>we’re sorry for all of that. And one thing more.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>We threw away the lyre. But listen, we’ll pay</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>whatever the sheep was worth. The dog, too.</em>
</div>

<div class="column">
  <em>And put your room the way it was before.</em>
</div>
