The Twelve Disciples
Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew
James and John, the sons of thunder
Philip and his good friend Bartholomew
(Is this whom John calls Nathaniel, I wonder)
Thomas the doubter, and born-again Matthew
James, son of Alf, and someone travelling under
The name of Thaddeus or Judas or Jude
Who may be James’s brother or some other dude
Simon of Canaan, sometimes called the zealot
And the arch-betrayer, Judas Iscariot
