When haters try to take you down
But God has other plans
We see that God sees outcomes
That are different from man’s –
Immediate, unthinkable,
Impossible to fake—
The things that God accomplishes
Are perfect (for His sake!) [Read more…]
A drank a lot of coffee
And I really need to pee
But the people waving placards
Make it difficult for me [Read more…]
I’ve been looking through the archives
(And there’s quite an awful lot)
Of the posts that I remember
And the many I forgot.
There are thousands that I’ve written—
It’s been mostly lots of fun—
But I wonder: are there any
Who’ve read every single one? [Read more…]
I read it in the paper! Or,
I saw it on TV!
As interpreted by journalists
Who sussed it out for me;

I just wrote a post–
An Earth Day post–
It wasn’t the least; it wasn’t the most

If the changes aren’t profound—
Then I’m voting for The Donald

Yes, we’ll torch the old foundation
And set fire to the rot
And what rises from the ashes
Can’t be worse than what we’ve got” [Read more…]

And it won’t be caused by Jesus; it’s the fault of you and me!
As we stomp our carbon footprints, and we foul the fetid air
The apocalypse is coming… but we mostly do not care. [Read more…]
The big bad wolf was hungry

So he searched the forest pathways
For a little girl to eat [Read more…]
