It was humid that day with the hot air coming all the way from Southern Spain
I was sitting on a bench in the High Street reading my newspaper
When I noticed that Jesus Christ was standing behind me
Handing out copies of The Life of Marcello Mastroianni
Many people were ignorant of the actor but accepted the gift nonetheless
However I liked Italian cinema and had seen many of his movies
When I asked Jesus why he was involved in such a mundane task
He told me that the most mundane tasks were the most important
For the rest of a very hot afternoon I assisted Jesus in handing out the books
Which were gratefully received although some were suspicious of our motives
Towards the end of the day a kind waiter brought us an ice cold coke
Which we both enjoyed although I did notice that my newspaper had been stolen
