·TheCrookedPath

Pray to the mirror for truth and for light Pray to the Hill for wrong and for right Pray to the crowd for family and friends Pray to the Net that you'll see them again Swear by the timeclock, communion from cans Cast out the demons with fiber and bran Penance paid weekly by trips to the gym Sin is a Twinkie, Heaven is slim Pray to the lawyers who pardon your speeding Grace is upsizing the crap that you're eating Pray to the doctors and pay your parole Each day is one bought from the plot with the hole

TheCrookedPath

Not much to say. I'm a father of four, working to keep my pygmies fat and happy. I have always liked Robert Frost, but a recent book that I'd stumbled across introduced me to John Donne.
