Daddy Cut His Balls Off

[Jim C. Lombardo]

Oh it was summer of forty-three
in the state of Ken-tuck-eee
when Papa yelled out to my brothers of three,
and he said boys get over here,
and doncha show no fear,
cus I'm going to make a man outta each one of ye

So he took out a saw and said heres whatta gonna do
I'm going to work with each one of you
were going to build a chapel
behind the old dead apple
and doncha back out or I'll beat'chu black n blue

So before we began, Papa had to hit the can
and said he'll just be a hustle
so don'cha move a muscle
and so me brothers and I waited
once Daddy had vacated
and that's when we hear him cry, "EEEE-YAWWWWWWWW!!!"

Out came mama, her face was all fluster,
and yelled to me, "where's yer old pa, lil' buster!?"
I pointed 'round back,
and mama darted to the shack,
and when she came back, her face had gone crack'ed.

And here's what mama said:

"Oh, we won't get bread cus Daddy cut his balls off
he cut 'em off for the Lord.
Why did'e go an' do that, I don't quite know,
but we show 'em off at the county show!
Now be a good Billy be kind to your pa,
and doncha be a bad boy cus you won't fool pa,
cus he just chopped his nuts with a lumber saw."

I could probably chop out a few verses, but that would be nuts.

Now hold on a minute; a man who is wounded in the stones may not enter the Lord's congregation. I think your father may have erred.

Not so fast brother Faith, of course it is as you say, someone who is wounded in the stones may not enter the congregation (Deut 23:1), but that could mean only wounded by someone else. Fortunately God never is unclear in His teachings, the meaning of the Word is always singular. Let us see what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 19:12: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

I do believe that brother Jim's father made an excellent investment in his relationship with God.

Ah, yes, now that you've used scripture to help me more fully understand the situation, I am inclined to agree. What a beautiful act of selflessness!
