A Message Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

A message

An angel sat on the window ledge
Wanted to come in which was understandable
It was a cold night. Walk through the window glass
for heaven's sake, you are an angel
the angel refused it would ruffle its wings.
He opened the window and let it in and since it
was worried about its looks he took it to be a female.
The angle denied this insisted it was sexless, God
had sent her (he refused to call it It)
The message was.: It has come to my attention
that my son Jesus is an avid reader of your poems,
and as you know, he isn`t well since the crucifixion
has become left winged (pardon the pun) .
He forms his worldview according to what you write,
so be a good man and tone it down a bit or else!
God is your friend.
So why didn`t he say so himself? Well she said
he doesn't like to interfere with human affairs.
