LUKE 16:1-13
The shrewd manager
made safe his future by means
unconventional.
Misconduct was alleged
and the rogue manager,
unmasked,
perhaps deferred a present gain
by creative accounting
to sometime hence
and, most likely,
with interest accrued.
The Teacher’s parable
reflected his own position:
a rogue agent,
seemingly unauthorised,
dispensing forgiveness
and commending the shrewd.
