Millions


One day I was

with you know who, Jesus.


                   

And he went up into the mountains

and thousands of people followed him.

  

                   

The police said five thousand,

five thousand.
  



                   

Everybody knows this story.
  

                   

Loaves and fishes.



  

                   

See, I knew you'd say that.

That's what everybody says.

                   

Anyway, this kid comes up to us,

about your size,
  

                   

His name was...

no I have forgotten.
  

                   

I still see him sometimes.
  

                   

Anyway he comes up

with these loaves and fishes.
  

                   

Sardines.


                   

And Jesus blesses them

and passes the plate round.
  

                   

Now the first person

he passes it to, passes it on.
  

                   

He doesn't take anything.
  

                   

He just passes it on.

Do you know why?
  

                   

Because he had a piece

of lamb hidden in his pocket.
  

                   

And as he is passing the fish,

he sneaks a bit of meat out
  

                   

and pretends he's taken

it off the plate.
  

                   

Do you see what I'm saying?
  

                   

And the next person

exactly the same story.
  

                   

Every single bastard one

of them has their own food.
  

                   

And every one of them

is keeping it quiet.
  

                   

Looking after number one.
  

                   

But as that plate went round

with the sardines on
  

                   

They all got their own food

out and started to share.
  

                   

And then that plate went

all the way round
  

                   

And back to Jesus
  

                   

and it'd still got the fish

and the loaves on it.


                   

I think Jesus was a bit taken aback.
  

                   

He says, 'what happened? '
  

                   

And I just said 'miracle'.
  

                   

And at first

I thought I'd fooled him.
   

                   

But now I see it was a miracle,

one of his best.
   

                   

But this little kid

had stood up and...
   

                   

Everybody there just got bigger.
   

                   

Do you understand

what I'm talking about?



   

                   

Not really.




                   

I'm talking about you.



   

                   

Now I'm really lost.




                   

You're trying too hard.

                   

That kid he wasn't planning

on doing a miracle.

                   

He wasn't planning anything,

except lunch.

             

Something that looks like a miracle

turns out to be dead simple.
