humble means…

The bastard beat me into the men’s room by seconds,
he being half my age. A step behind, again.
 
As wagered my brazen foil bolted for the high urinal
leaving me the low boy. I sensed his muffled grin.
 
Humiliation is often crouching at the door.
 
I’ve heard a visit to the cave of The Nativity requires
bowing to enter through the Door of Humility.
 
Submission before the holy marble fits nicely in Advent
sermons, although the entry fee is never mentioned.
 
You younger men, God is opposed to the proud.

        That has to be one of the most subtle innuendos I have ever read…

    See, we don’t have these issues.

    And what we do, God did. Ah, the humanity.

      Yes, Steve, ‘God took the low boy’…a slightly unorthodox but understandable encapsulation of Phil 2…
