Don’t Even Think About!

 

God was very big in our house

and my mother was His personal representative

to make sure I did things right,

now all food were okay

as long as you prayed over them before eating,

so Pop Tarts with ice cream for breakfast

work fine with the right kind of spiritual petition.

 

Seeing to close to the television

when watching war movies or westerns

might risk the violence radiation would rot your brain,

and going to the theater on Sunday

was okay as long as you knew

angels sat next to you

who wouldn’t hesitate to strike you with thunderbolts

should you root for the bad guy

because they loved you so.

 

We just had so much fun all the time

as long as we remembered

always be thankful even when you are not

since God hates a sore loser,

well she said it was in the scriptures somewhere

haven’t found it yet.
