On religion and new poems

On today’s sermon, the pastor whom I like mentioned the “sensible consolations”  in life in his sermon. An online friend asked why to have religious belief. I said it is because you can believe you can be forgiven and that you are more than what the World thinks you are. It is also about beauty.

Some new poems

“Shut-in (Part Two)” by yours truly

Shut-in,

Have some mutton.

Some say you’re a glutton.

So take it easy, sleazy.

You’re almost as bad as Putin.

But for you we are still rootin’.

“Crown” by yours truly

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Cap and gown but no renown.

The news may make you frown.

Some say you are just a clown.

Anyway, make life your own.

“Handle” by yours truly

Get a handle on this!

And by “handle”

I don’t mean a big bottle of liquor.

“Guac” by yours truly

(With apologies to Air Supply, but I really dislike the band; this is based on their song “All Out of Love,” a pollution from adolescence).

I’m all out of guac

What are chips without it?

“Can just use salsa sauce.

Try cheese in the mix.

Maybe some chili too.”
