As Jesus and his followers upon a Sabbath morn
Were walking by a wheat field they plucked the ears of corn.
They plucked it, they rubbed it, they blew the husks away,
Which grieved the pious pharisees upon the Sabbath day.
And Jesus said, "A riddle…answer if you can,
Was man made for the Sabbath or Sabbath made for man?"
