What I asked from God

When God gave out hearing I just wasn’t appearing
But I managed to catch up later
Then when God gave out my nose I thought He said hose
So I asked Him to make it extra long and runny
When God gave out a brain I thought He said drain
So I said I want mine empty
Then when God asked if I want brown eyes I thought He said flies
So I said feed mine to the frogs
He noticed I was becoming one so rare
And He asked me what I want for hair
I thought He meant for rabbits so I said “Carrots”
And He made my head as orange as parrots
He said, “You look like a bird, do you also want a beak?”
I thought that was the only way to ensure that I could speak
So I said yes and then He asked, “How do you want your glands?”
“Only two” I said because I thought He meant my hands.
Then I sensed my body changing and said, “Oh, you meant that!”
I could feel more hair grow and I was getting fat
Through my beak I said, “I want to be human.”
But the carrots on my head started bloomin’
God said, “Those that will inherit the Earth will be meek
But I don’t know why you want to go into it looking like a freak?”
I said, “I just appear this way because of our misunderstanding
You know, I will only fit in on Earth when aliens are landing!”
He said, “Yes, you are as unique and special as the stars
And all things considering you belong on Mars.
But before I release you there do you have any last request?”
“Yes I do God, tell me if this is some kind of test.”
“As God I often test people, that is not a rumor
And the whole purpose of this one is to test your sense of humor :o) “
Even without eyes I suddenly could see
That’s God’s sense of humor because He is a She! :o)
