Description
Poem: Local lad
(This poem could be split into several voices and almost read as a conversation – or a gossiping session!)
Local lad made good, he was.
Or so they thought when he first came back to them.
Their carpenter’s son with a reputation
for being clever, ever since childhood.
Big honour given to him, they thought,
to be reading the holy book in the synagogue.
Must be because he’d been away for a while
and gained himself a name as a teacher.
