| Judith and Nebudchanezzer’s General . | |

Patterjack’s wonderful poem Out of the Winter Darkness brought to mind the biblical story of Judith and how she saved her country from the Assyrians by slaying their General and displaying his head at the city gates. This inspired a rather lighthearted view of the story. Holofernes was an ombibulus chappie. He longed for Jude and sex was his plan. Hung-over he was feeling unhappyAnd collapsed like a broken old man. The Assyrian lay in his deep drunken sleep But Judith was feeling unkind. She disrobed him with care (and took a sly peep) Decapitation was there in her mind. Judith was charged with saving her kin From this General who ravaged her land She wielded his sword and showing great skill Brought it down on his neck just as planned. She returned to Bethulia, next daybreak, Where the citizens heralded her glory. She had cured Holofernes’ headache, But her method was out and out gory.
