Along his journey to Jerusalem,
Jesus passed by a place called Mount Olives.
A small colt, he told two friends to find him.
“If one asks, for the master, the horse is.”

So it happened just as Jesus had said,
And the two threw their coats upon the beast.
Jesus now mounted the creature to tread
and ride through the crowd like a wedding feast.

At the mountain slope is where they convened,
People put down cloaks and started to praise.
While the Pharisees stood by and demeaned,
They said, “To this king, all glory we raise.”

“If they keep silent, the stones will cry out!”
Jesus said as his last days were on route.
