Holy PeteA Poem by Richard WilliamsThe 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. © 2010 Richard Williams |
