How odd

Of God

To choose

The Jews.

But not so odd

As those who choose

A Jewish God,

Yet spurn the Jews.

-  Cecil Brown or Ogden Nash

The following are by anonymous poets:

Not odd 

of God,

His son 

Was one.

Not so odd

The Jews 

Chose God.

Not odd,

You sod,

The Jews 

Chose God.

. . . and the last word:

How strange 

Of man

To change 

The plan.
