God Shuffled His Feet

After seven days he was quite tired, so God said

"Let there be a day just for picnics with wine and bread"

He gathered up some people He had made

Created blankets, and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine, and what with God there

They asked him questions, like

"Do you have to eat or get your hair cut in Heaven?

And if you eye got poked out in this life

Would it be waiting up in Heaven with your wife?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at Him

So He said, "Once there was a boy who woke up with blue hair

To him it was a joy, till he ran out to warm air

He thought of how his friends would come to see

Would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at Him

The people sat waiting out on their blankets in the garden

But God said nothing, so someone asked Him

"I beg your pardon, I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke

Was that a parable or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at Him
