Evangelution
Coffee is evil, but caffeine is fine,
Says the Prophet – or so say the heads of the church.
And bare-heads are banished, but wigs are in line,
Says the Prophet – or so say the men from their perch.
The sabbath is holy, except when it’s Saturday,
Move it to Sunday, despite what was said –
While fasting is sacred, except when we’re hungry,
So buy an indulgence to butter our bread.
Would Jesus be weeping ? Would anyone notice ?
Not me – I never believed in the gent.
But cheer up, I’d tell him – to stagnate is bogus –
Just like how you varied the Old Testament.
