Define this thing called talent.
Describe its dimensions please.
Does it come in large and small sizes?
Like holes in Swiss-like cheese.
God gives to each man one.
But what if He gave him two?
Or three or half a dozen –
Sorting’s a job to do.
What if the talents seem to counter?
If they both cannot be done,
Yet both were given by God –
Both have a right to run.
