From the Mount of Olives, Jesus travelled third class -
Entered Jerusalem on a colt and an ass!
He thus fulfilled prophecy; while priests protested
Children praised Him - Jesus said they'd praise perfected!
The Temple's merchants, moneychangers - He chased these,
And said they'd changed God's pray'r house to a den of thieves!
Bethany-lodged, next morn Christ a barren fig tree
Cursed, and it withered. "Faith can move mountains!" said He.
The chief priests and elders were always nitpicking,
But in the end it was Jesus Who did the tricking.
He spoke parables against them, which when they heard
Would've seized Him, but due to the crowds caution preferred.
