This morning I heard Christine Caine (I cannot get enough of her by the way)
read this poem - author is
unknown. Hope you enjoyed it as much as
I did!
The Pit
A man fell into a pit and could not get
himself out.
A Subjective person came along and said
"I feel for you down there in that pit"
An Objective person came along and said
"It’s logical that someone would have fallen down into that pit"
A Christian Scientist came along and said
"You only think you’re in the pit"
A Pharisee said "only bad people fall
into the pit"
A Newspaper Reporter wanted the exclusive
story on the pit
A Fundamentalist said "You deserve your
pit"
Confucius said "If you had listened to
me you would not be in that pit"
Buddha said "The pit is only a state of
mind"
A Realist said "that’s a pit"
A Scientist calculated the pressure necessary
to get him out of the pit
A Geologist told him to appreciate the rock
strata in the pit
A Tax man asked him if he was paying taxes on
the pit
An inspector asked him if he had a permit to
dig the pit
An Evasive person came along and avoided the
subject of the pit altogether
A Self pitying person said "You haven’t
seen anything until you have seen my pit"
A Charismatic said "just confess that
you are not in the pit"
An Optimist said "It could be
worse"
A Pessimist said "Things will get
worse"
Jesus walking along seeing the man in the pit
simply knelt down, extended his hand and pulled him out of the pit!
