One day, two types came to my door.
Explained that, unlike in days of yore,
Crime was rife and it was getting worse.
Hang on a mo. I replied in verse,
Thinking of Genesis (leaving Incest aside
Guess they'd no choice or the race would have died.)
I counted them out (like Noah) in pairs,
Adam and Eve were there
And their sons, Cain and Abel.
Yes, four of those guys in the fable.
Of which one was a murderer,
I make that one in four.
Holy Cow!
You say it's worse than that right now!
It's time I disappeared.
They too and they never reappeared.

I would like to translate this poem
When people find out what is actually in their Holy books they are usually dumbfounded. The Marquis de Sade could not have written such horrifying texts.
I'm amazed that people take it seriously. Parts of the old testament are indeed horrifying. How he got it through the publishers, God only knows. The New Testament is supposed to be the soft option but that Nativity story seems to suggest Holy Ghost engaged in adultery and quite possibly paedophilia (in view of Mary's reputed age) . Tom
