Who Are You?

Saul, a witness to David's deeds
Wondered now about David's needs
He offered him riches beyond compare
The total treasure he was willing to share

But David refused, as was his wont
And told the King he had no wants
Saul, surprised, asked "Who are you?"
No lesser man could I construe

"I am but a simple shepherd, sir
My needs are few, of that I'm sure
I come from your servant, my father Jesse
He comes from Bethlehem, you see

"I am the youngest of his sons
I work all day under the sun
I tend the sheep, I watch the flocks
My victory must seem like a paradox"

Saul now thoroughly impressed
Offered up armor in which David dressed
But David's success caused a bit of a grate
And Saul's mood turned from joy to hate
