Camy Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 God Bothered by Camy I used to be God bothered. They'd come around every day. No matter what I was doing They would kneel on the stoop and pray. They'd hand me glossy pamphlets That spoke of God's great grace. I never told them to 'fuck off,' Especially to their face. Instead I'd wear a black cloak, Stick horns upon my head; Froth and wail, beat my breast And say I raised the dead. It worked for a while, life went on, Then a new lot came to town. Devil worshippers one and all; Sly grins and never a frown. Mistakenly, I opened the door With horns and cloak in place. "You're one of us!" They shrieked in delight, As I slammed the door in their face. So here I am self-isolating... Was it all a dream? Or was God and his fallen Angel Trying to make me SCREAM?! Quote Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nice one. By the way, horns are a sign of the presence of God within a being. Look at Michelangelo's Moses. Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I always thought having the horn was indicative of a rather different state... Quote Link to comment

What can beat Bake Off, with those gloriously scrumptious fairy cakes. Do they give you the Horn too, James? Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I have an idea that's another thing that's been translated on its way across the big pond. In the UK we have The Great British Bake Off, but am I right that when it's broadcast Stateside it's renamed The Great British Baking Show? I have no idea why... Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think it's called that. I tend not to watch it. I did a few times, then stopped. Very fussy judges and not much compassion. We have Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food channel. Quite entertaining. Some great looking food. C Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Sorry you're not a fan, Cole, it's a big hit over here. Perhaps we're not a compassionate nation... Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Unfortunately, neither are we! I admit I did like it. I like Triple D better. C Quote Link to comment
