The old man had been channeling Albert for days <br />He had managed to make contact with him <br />while taking his morning constitution in the back <br />behind his custom built plywood paneled trailer <br />His wife's (actually his cousin's) garden was doing extremely well <br />The sweet corn was high and the beans were really coming in... <br />The old guy had been unable to sleep for weeks up till then <br />This one burning question kept eating at his psychic <br />and the old man thought only an Einstein would know <br />If when in a person's life there is a spiritual void <br />Will Evil then be all which can fill his heart? <br />Or was there power enough in prayer to save him? <br />The answer came as a shocker.... <br />When Albert who had taken the liberty of enlisting some help <br />from six of the twelve Apostles... <br />Spoke to him late last night....The old man was <br />taking a piss on the rhubarb and collard greens <br />He claims it keeps the varmints from eating them greens <br />'Old man' the voices of the combined seven called.... <br />Bartholomew acting as spokesperson for the group.... <br />Said.... <br />'Two protons stuck together have less mass than two single separate protons' <br /> Perplexed the old guy scratched his head with his free hand and asked, <br />'What does this mean to me? <br />To which there was only the sound of dead silence <br />and that of his stream hitting the broad leaf of the rhubarb.... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-power-of-prayer-when-applied-to-the-theory-of-relativity/
