The First Stone
The First Stone
Any stone might have been
The first stone
Had one of the Pharisees,
Deeming himself to be
Without sin, bent down
And picked it up,
Then thrown it at her,
Whereupon you can be sure
The others would have
Picked up stones too,
Though none of them
Would have been
The first stone.
The first stone
Had already been thrown.
