God Is A Prankster (Fun Poem)

Rating: 5.0


God is a prankster
This I believe
He made many things
that one can't conceive

He made birds with no feathers
that must walk the ground
And fish that can fly
but don't make a sound

There's bugs that wear
their bones outside
and fin-less jellyfish
that sting for it's pride

And why did he invent
a head eating Mantis?
Only the male is praying
his head she will miss

But the biggest practical joke
that God calls
Is the duckbilled platypus
egg-laying mammal oddball

I think God has a sense of humor as well, good job JoJo--Melvina--

Perhaps she just has a quirky sense of humour? Seriously though, this is great fun- particularly the mantis stanza. As for the platypus - well being an Aussie, they're commonplace to me and quite adorable. love, Allie xxxx

god funny? no. He is many things but he is a not stand up comedian. It is okay, I just didn't get the fish part...
