Holy Pete

Holy Pete

A Poem by Richard Williams
"

The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster.

"

Out in my garage between the dust
there lives a monster that I trust;
he's made of semolina wheat
he is my friend, I call him Pete...
(He never told me his name.)

I come to Pete in spirit and truth
having learned of him in my youth;
I'm sure it was my dear aunt Ruth
(perhaps while in a Domino's booth)
so I am in the game.

Now great spaghetti cares for me
even though it's something I can't see;
For long ago did Pete command
to separate the sea from land
and form a meatball in his hand.

Pete flew around and set the clocks
because of the sins of pickpockets;
Pete twirled the earth with his aplomb,
loves colanders and bootlegged rum,
has a nephew named Tom.

He came to me one winter night
all a-drip in clam sauce white,
a frigid breath from pasta lungs
he spoke to me--I was so young;
it was no use... he spoke in tongues.

Still Pete is with me, this I know
because my garage door tells me so;
behold an image oh so thin,
some angel hair, Al Dente chin,
I'll bet it is lasagna kin.

This is excellent!! There are too many great lines in this to mention, but I think my favourite is:

behold an image oh so thin,
some angel hair, Al Dente chin,
I'll bet it is lasagna kin.

Classic! Long live Pasatfarianism...
