Thank God for the Luxury of Ice
Thank God for the luxury of ice;
crystalline, jagged, and unnaturally square,
clear, white, and blue.
Thank God for snow, and the melting glaciers
of the Himylayas.
I thank God today
for my trivial icemaker,
and my artificial life.
I cannot even spell Darfur,
but know all the happenings in Paris,
fashion central.
Thank God for my ignorance,
and central air,
and for endless distractions.
Thank God for the luxury
of down pillows,
HDTV, and American Idolotry.
Thank God I know what's really important,
and for the ability to shut my eyes
and see nothing around me
except my own fat stomach.
Do you want answers?
There are no answers!
Thank God there are no answers, turn up the volume
and relax.
Thank God for ambiguity and selfishness,
Target, and Walmart!
Oh thank God, thank God that the Vietnamese were evil.
And the Iraqis were evil,
the Afghanis, Brits, and Japanese.
Thank God they were evil!
Thank God for clear concience!
Thank God we can bomb those bastards
right back to the stone age
so we can keep our way of life,
way of thinking,
our perversions and distractions,
and our wonderful ice,
wonderful luxurious, crystalline ice.
