Forbidden Forty Days And Nights, Candy Apples And Something Wet

Oh things are great over at Elmer’s house
because he’s son, whose all of two,
done got filled with the spirit,
well at least by Elmer’s standard
seeing how he’s a member
of the First Church Of Divine Dunker Ark Taboos.

Well they sort of read the bible,
got it all real clear,
only being reformed moonshiners
who still sip their brew,
by the time their reverend,
Ole Buddy White Lightning James
was through with his interpretation
it came out that Noah
was in the garden of Eden
for forty days and nights
while he invented Candy Apples
forbidden by some lumberjacks
that grew trees for life in the garden.

Course this was all revelation you understand,
which just included a snake,
who was there in Eden and called, “Serpentstein,”
naturally the insight after too much brew,
but according to Buddy
this snake was a gardener in charge of naming trees.

By the time Elmer sorted it all out
as he recovered from a bible study of reading and drinking
somewhere in his inebriated haze
he bought a python named, Cherubim.
Brought it home for his son to have as spiritual interpretation
weaving in water based on something to do with possible floods,
his son enjoying the baths and his new pet,
Elmer feeling saved and no longer
fearing being drowned by winged lumberjacks.
