Dogs & Doghouses

The Bible says
not to muzzle the oxen
that treadeth out the corn.
Preachers like that verse
but I've never seen a fat ox.

What? know ye not
that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost?
Sometimes we give the Spirit
a grand luxury suite.

All you can eat food bars
and unlimited refills
shed new light
on the Kine of Bashan, cold gross hearts,
and our ability to swallow camels.

What a trend we have in Jesus

shirts and signage that we wear.

What a wonder that we carry

Jesus baubles in our hair.


Rubber bands adorn our wrist bones

bumper stickers make them stare.

Dollars spent in all our efforts

just to show them we must care.


See the modern Christian artists?

Hear their music in the air.

Making millions from the CDs

as we covet all that's fair.


In the fancy Bible book store

ecumenical ignore.

Spend your money with abandon

just make sure you still want more.
