St. Jerome
Robert L. Withers
I’ve not read much from St.
Jerome, but I like him.
Why?
Because he is said to have
been irascible.
Cantankerous, cranky, feisty,
grouchy, testy.
Irascible.
I can’t hang with Jerome with
intellect, but maybe I can with temperment.
Hey, I’m better than I was…I
think.
But, I still have that trait
of being….irascible.
I can see it now, at the gate
to Mount Purgatory.
Peter looks at me and says,
“Ah yes, Bob, irascible.
“You’ve got a long climb.”
“Just glad to be here,” I
reply.
I am better than I
was…I think.
Maybe?
Just maybe?
