This Command (Parody of a Nursery Rhyme: "This Old Man")



This command placed in one:
He plagued Egypt, freed you ones
Whom He'll bring back to His land, worship Him alone
Bring no alien gods to know

This command placed in two:
Grant that He might look like you
Still admit that no exact copies can be hewn
Bow down to no wood or stone

This command placed in three:
Do not take His name lightly
When you speak, act, tread a path, guilty you might go
For in you God's name is shown

This command placed in four:
Keep the Sabbath's holy form
Stop and kick back, just relax, in this day He's shown
Feel redeemed within your bones

This command placed in five:
Longer days will stack your life
If you give back mom and dad's honor which you owe
When you've fam'lies, you'll then know

This command placed in six:
Slay no man at your own risk
You know you can't bring life back, let alone bestow
You, yourself, are on death row

This command placed in seven:
When you're married keep committed
As a husband, Adam's glad having one he knows
Flesh - his flesh; and bone - his bones

This command placed in eight:
Sell none with dishonest weights
Sure, you may have money sacks full with tons of gold
Stolen profits' worse than stones

This command placed in nine:
To the ones you testify
Do not witness harming them, going to and fro
You might hear the rooster's crow

This command placed in ten:
If your neighbors, foes or friends,
Have what you lack, just be glad with the things you own
Don't covet within your soul
