Saint Peyote Of The Buttoned Down Shirt

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Holy Sin? What next? Zippers?

"

Saint Peyote Of The Buttoned Down Shirt


Pray for us St. Mushroom of the Holy Sin

Keep our fingers free from sticky things

And safe from anxiety of the open hole

In the middle of the doughnut where it belongs

Deliver us twelve of them but spare the sugar tax


Sin grows in the dark so wickedly delicious

Bury us not without nutritional consideration

Or restrictions on our caloric intake please

Measure not our waistline figures without end

Have mercy on them

Bless us and deliver us from zippers


St. Peyote see fit to stitch our buttons tight

Teach us how to open the safe without explosives

To steal the contents and escape without notice

With shirts intact, fastened from top to bottom

Lost buttons are frowned upon downtown


Deliver us not into high fashion or traffic stops

Let not our mothers dress us funny after we grow up

St. Peyote, trust in us to feed the puppy only pizza

Without mushrooms. Leave them to us

Author's Note

Earl Schumacker
To answer your question...No... The author only drinks tea and coffee...without additives. His only excuse is that he was born this way. To answer your question about "Holy Sin." I direct your attention back to the authors tea and coffee and birth comments. They will have to suffice. Enjoy.
