Thank God I'm an Atheist ©
One fine night, in the middle of the day,
two atheists knelt down to pray.
Hymn books opened upside-down,
in Top Hat n' Tails, and their dressing gown.
The in-verse lyrics from the page,
sung happily with joyous rage.
Two old friends, first meeting each other,
(both my Grandad's grandson's sister's brother.)
With sufficient humility, to make them proud,
in perfect silence, they roared out loud.
"All things dim and dutiful,
all tree cures smate and groll.
All things dense and blunderfull,
what good is a square ball? "
Cursed by the blessing,
and accepted by rejection.
As welcoming as Ebenezer,
(when it's time to pass the collection.)
Thanking God for their disbelief,
from their heads up to their toes.
And then with Pious reverence,
they did pick each other's nose.
These two brave cowards stand as one
In truth they are my father's son.
You students of genealogy,
must unsurely disagree.
For my Grandad's grandson's sister's brother,
Can be none other than…..
Me!
p.s.: -(Some students of genealogy,
have been giving me some bother.
They've pointed out, without a doubt,
it could also be my brother!)
Organized religion is the worst thing that ever happened to Christianity.
I'm confused why you start out with two people if the poem is about you. Is it because you're conflicted? It's a fun poem, and I like it. Clever and well-penned.
elisha's comment brought a laugh to my throat. Can be none other than….. Me! ..........................this may seem logical to some, but it is certainly NOT logical. but what IS (logical) about this travesty [take your pick of the definitions]? ? ! you shall rot in Hell, while also burning to a crisp. and i'll be there recording the whole thing on my flip phone; i hope it is not 'roaming' there. bri :) p.s. in case you want I'm and not I'M in the title, give me a whistle and ten bucks and i'll help you out. out of ten bucks...........at least.
Very funny. I can see your tongue bulging in your cheek when you wrote this one. I like your sense of humor.
I loved your word play, at times it has a Dr. Seuss like quality and who doesn't like Dr. Seuss? Thanks a really enjoy it.
