Two cheeses

Two cheeses

A Poem by T.S. Ulmus

Me: "do penguins have a Jesus?..."
Him: "I said 'make a pastrami with two cheeses'"
Me: "But... Do you think they do?"
Him: "Just make the sandwich"
Me: "Not Jesus specifically, but the penguin version of a prophet"
Him: "Do I think that a flightless Antarctic bird had the Almighty God send them an ambassador, possibly the embodiment of himself and his own eternal perfection, in order to provide spiritual salvation?"
Me: "Yeah"
Him: "Sure, he was probably wearing a tuxedo at the time. Is that sandwich done yet?"
Me: "Working on it. Do you think penguins had original sin?"
Him: "I can't think of anything more inconsequentially inane"
Me: "I bet I can"

The first line is powerful and holds following lines with energy of imaginative exellence

This should be the beginning of a serious of conversations of those deep and meaningful pondering that just don't get the funding dollars they deserve.
I'm never gonna be able to eat my Babybel without thinking of the baby Cheesus again 😊

Sure, pick on the penguin. Everyone else does.

Such dry humour.. sort of wit with a grin. There's little better than a good laugh when outdoors is raining penguins and daft questions. And, with such a flourish!

As to theology, who's to know whether of not someone somewhere is translating that very tale from this or that language into another. Many thanks for brightening the day to come.

I try to swerve into a curve that's not rutted by the thoughts of others while clearing the obstacles of the mundane. I like receiving read requests for poetry, but... ya know, good stuff. more..
