Carrying his own cross, which had been supplied,
to Golgotha: Skull hill, he was crucified.
Other folks attended, two to be killed, too,
Saw the signs as posted, saying who was who.

didn’t like the title that the judge declared.
Ti-red of their picking; getting his own back.
Pilate answered calmly, “Take it. That is that!”
