That was today's prompt--"Friday." Here's what I did.
Date Night Number One
Did they check the papers
for showtimes at Golgotha,
skip the openers--two dull thieves,
the stuff you see every Friday--
showing up in time
for the top-billed treat,
some sleight-of-hand showoff
who needed to be put in his place
with three spikes and a mallet?
Did they show up late,
snacks in hand, chattering,
to see what would happen?
Did the flankers, the Pips,
pockets of their robes outturned
and drooping like their heads,
provide any show? And when
the headliner murmured,
“It is finished,” did they
raise a flame
and stamp their sandals for an encore?
