"Jazz"

Jazz.


"Multiplicity"

Seth MacFarlane, man

Of many voices. Five that

I do know about.

"Communion"

I used to go to church,

Just to take communion.

A hymn.

A sermon.

Then you eat the flesh of Christ,

Which tasted like a cracker.

Next comes the blood of Christ.

First it tasted like Arbor Mist.

Next it tasted like Welch's grape juice.

Every three months.

I used to go to church

Until I realized that I could

Get better sleep at home.

A hymn.

A snooze.

A hymn.

Go home.

Amen.

Let us bray.

Hypocrisy.

Intolerant tolerance.

Let us judge people

And talk about them

And shun them

For not being like us.

For that is the Christian way.

Tolerate Christians;

Judge the rest.

Launch holy wars

Against those who do not

Have our beliefs.

They are liars after all

And must die,

So that they can feel the love of Christ.

Ten dollars for a bottle of wine.

Two dollars for some crackers.

Now I can have communion all

That I want.

Pass the host.

Pass the grape juice.

Let us bray.

Now it is time for a nap.

Zzz and

Amen.

Dormiamus in pace.
