The guy was really getting into it until the Pope called <br />and he was commanded to extinguish his excitement; <br />ordered to dunk his stale donut into a Styrofoam <br />cup of cold decaffeinated and whiskey flavored coffee, <br />while reciting the Lord’s Prayer and repaying a hundred <br />Hail Mary’s that he still owed from the time he and his friends <br />went to the beach and stole a wallet full of cash, <br />while the sharks fed on its rightful owner. <br />They didn't get the word in time to save their souls because <br />Jesus had been on vacation at a different resort and James <br />was busy baptizing anyone who could hold their breath…. <br /> <br />2008 © TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vatican-prepaid-calling-card/
