FLAVIO AND HIS DONKEY EL FANTASTICO
Now it is time to tell the tale of Flavio and his donkey
El Fantastico. He meandered around and finally fell in
With some serious, I mean serious orthodox God crazies
He found lodging with them and they made him some tea
Out of nettles and gave El Fantastico some oats and water.
He watched them grind meal and make their own bread.
They sang and danced and sprayed seltzer in each other’s
Pants; after all they were a little bit crazy. Flavio did not
Want to wear out his welcome so he said he must leave soon.
“Where is my donkey, El Fantastico”, he said. “Your donkey”,
They exclaimed, with a name like El Fantastico, we will keep
Him so when the Lord returns he can ride on El Fantastico”
You are welcome to stay here with us and El Fantastico. Here,
Everything belongs to the Lord. Flavio said, “You are all crazy
I will take my donkey and leave, I do not belong here.
“You are like the wandering soul”, they said. We welcomed you,
Made a home for you and all you want to do is to wander. Off
Rejecting our salvific ways.” We are mad for the Lord.
“My salvation is not with a bunch of loons” Flavio intoned.
“A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer in your pants, my
Word” Flavio left in the middle of the night with El Fantastico
As the lightening shined from the East even unto the West.
So was the returning of the Lord. The Lord tells Flavio that
They were loony when he left and didn’t expect much change.
