Just for practice, I created
another planet. Took me a week,
and it was still unmanned!
And now I’m stiff and sore all over.
Went to cancel it, but
couldn’t remember where I put it.
Now it’ll probably run into
one of the others!
So I went to check out Earth.
It had been a while. My god,
it was overgrown! And all the
Non-Believers! More sodomy
than at Sodom! I went to wash
it clean, but they said I promised
not to do that again!
Now, when did I do that?
Told the Pope, never mind the
“Be fruitful and multiply”—
he said it would never fly
at the Synod, but to check back with him
next visit. Smote him down--an eyeblink later
there was white smoke, and another
in his place.
Took a chariot out of there—
halfway to Heaven I realized
the turn signal was still on!
Hard to relax—maybe a little nap—
but here are all the original Hell’s Angels
running across the lawn!
Now, where did I put that brimstone?
