He is Religious


He is religious Lord - is so religious,
His works and deeds egregiously prodigious,
He mortifies the flesh, - fasts thrice a week,
On Fridays he eats carrots mixed with leek.

He sleeps upon a pricking heap of hay,
To keep immodest fantasies away,
He tithes, anise, dill cumin and mint,
Thus is secure he hardly ever sinned.

He met the Lord once in the parking lot,
And cried: "I have my prayer book forgot!"
The Lord replied: "the heart thou hast forgot"
Be off you lout, get lost, I KNOW THEE NOT !.
