You know that popular exercise machine <br />called the “Stairmaster? ” Well, I have a money- <br />making idea for motivating out-of-shape religious <br />people to start working out. We could invent a <br />machine and call it the “Christ-master.” It could <br />have a little speaker system with a voice that <br />screams things at you, like “Onward Christian <br />soldier! ” or “Move thy ass! ” And it could have a <br />little whip mechanism that flagellates you if you <br />slow down too much. We could have a “Mecca- <br />master” model for Moslems, and when you order <br />the Zen Buddhist model, all you’d receive is an <br />empty box. You crawl inside it and then you <br />BECOME the Zen master.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweatin-to-the-scripture/
