pomes of buddy don: repeatin a nuthern

i wuz readin eric altermans blog n notissd a innerestin conversayshun a'goin on bout bedrock christchun bleefs, witch ifn ye go here n scroll down to the letters startin with thatn frum roger of marlton, nj, ye kin read whut folks has to say. i half to add mitt, i always thought christ wuz havin us battle fer our souls, not fer how the gummint orta be allowd to enforce sum relijuns bleefs.

innywho, heres the pome, witch i writ it after pat robertson recommended takin out hugo chavez, tho it seems we are still usin christ to justify doin sum verr unchristlike thangs:

It's Always Seemed to Me a Little Odd

It's always seemed to me a little odd
That in his time on earth as Jesus, God
Would fail to make a parable or mention
That being gay defies nature's convention!

Or why in all the truths He did convey
No word against abortion did He say?
Why didn't He explain where life begins
Instead of pardoning evil-doers' sins?

Or how could He ignore the bankers' need
To charge percents of interest that exceed
The fed's prime rate by multiples of eight
And help our rich folks' wealth accumulate?

Instead He advised all to be so meek
That, if attacked, we turn the other cheek
Did He not know the interests of our nation
Might demand covert assassination?


[update: to brake its lank to pat robertsons remarks, here is a lil re rite of the same pome with only the last line changed]

Did He not know the interests of our nation
Might require preëmptive invasion?

This here's one fantastick pome, Buddy Don. I done noticed before you gots a way with poetry.

Now they found a Gospel of Judas, do ye thank they'll find a Gospel According to Me by Jesus? An if they do, will it say kill all yer enemies and stone them fags to death?
