Sweatin’ To The Scripture Poem by Professor Poetry Hound

Sweatin’ To The Scripture

Rating: 5.0


You know that popular exercise machine
called the “Stairmaster? ” Well, I have a money-
making idea for motivating out-of-shape religious
people to start working out. We could invent a
machine and call it the “Christ-master.” It could
have a little speaker system with a voice that
screams things at you, like “Onward Christian
soldier! ” or “Move thy ass! ” And it could have a
little whip mechanism that flagellates you if you
slow down too much. We could have a “Mecca-
master” model for Moslems, and when you order
the Zen Buddhist model, all you’d receive is an
empty box. You crawl inside it and then you
BECOME the Zen master.

pph-love the concept, except for the part about the Zennies-'cause they have a long history of being bopped on the head with the master's stick while attempting satori-hey, and what about the Jews and their wailing wall? ! Got God? Phillip

I'm pretty sure that's why I couldn't be a Catholic. My knees won't take it any more. I was always dismayed you couldn't smoke yet there were a lot of 'well fed' (Jerry Falwell types) telling me your body is a temple chit. Well hippo-crit, your temple sure is bigger than mine.
