    ...with apologies to Hughes Mearns

    As I was kneeling down in prayer,
    I met a God who was not there.

    He wasn't there again today;
    I wish, I wish, he'd go away!

    How can you meet someone who isn't there? I just call that getting stood up.

    Shhhhh.... leave him alone... he's talking to his imaginary friend that isn't there.

    Perhaps you should consider taking an English Lit course. It's a fairly easy poem to analyze.

    Geez, no bloody kinship amongst even the ex-JW's!

    Chill out and stop picking on what seems to be the only Aussie in the joint!

    Seeing all you yanks etc on here just reassures me that I was in a cult that originated from the USA not anything spiritual or loving.

    Chill out man! Go smoke a cone, take a pill.

    Just because you can't see the joke doesn't mean it isn't hilarious.

    Thanks Nathan

    LOL.

    As I was sitting on the Throne,

    I recalled some images I once had known.

    Watchtowers, Awakes, and Books Galore,

    Offering them to people at every door.

    Then it hit me, I was in a Rut,

    If I still had some of that literature,

    I could wipe my Butt!

    OMG! I couldn't resist! I think that was the Bud Light talking!

    Hi OhioCowboy, good to make your aqaintance.

    I like your poem, and so I hereby dub thee "Mr. Watchtower & Awake book salesman" - another True Man of Genius!!

    Most of the other Ozzies here are really pretty cool - there has to be someone holding down the low end of the Oz IQ Bell curve; now we know who he is -- and a poster boy for substance abuse too.
