Knock at door. <br /> <br />Is this 34c Warren Hastings Court? <br /> <br />(Shout from upstairs) <br />Tell him we don’t want no doorsteppers today, Ali. <br /> <br />I don’t think you understand, Sir. My services are <br />part of the removal package. <br /> <br />Well bless me. I didn’t see that in the small print. <br /> <br />Good, just kneel here on this bubble-wrap, my son. <br />Would you like me to pray for peace in your home, Sir? <br /> <br />Perhaps later when the baby stops screaming? <br /> <br />How about blessing your bed for a fruitful sex life? <br /> <br />We’ve got six kids, thanks, as you can hear. <br /> <br />The toilet then, for a healthy life? <br /> <br />It’s pretty busy, the kids are rather upset at moving. <br /> <br />The kitchen then? <br /> <br />Aliya doesn’t really like men in the kitchen.. God, <br />is that the time already? We’re not ready for the van.. <br /> <br />Remember, God’s peace is beyond time, my son. <br />That’s why I’m here. Perhaps it would be better <br />if I visited you in your new home? May I take the address, <br />or perhaps ride with you in the van? <br /> <br />It’s 10 Allahabad Villas, Southall.. but I think it’s better not – <br />But thanks for coming. It’s the first time we’ve met anyone from your religion, Inshallah…it could be a good omen for peace.. <br /> <br />**! ! ? ? ? <br /> <br />We’re Moslems despite the English surname which got us in…didn't they tell you? <br /> <br />Oh I’m so sorry sir, it must be a computer error… <br /> <br />Oh no harm done, I guess. Allah be with you.. <br /> <br />And with you, my son… first time for me, too..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0323-god-removes-in-mysteriousways/
