god and A Game of Golf ?

i painted my crucifix
bought my own thorn of crowns
even self flagellated
and still I died alone
how i wanted
to hear the crowds
chant my name
even mistake me
for the son of god
anyone for a game of golf

Hole e-blasmamy Lenny O' Cohen

You will never enjoy the pleasures of the holest of hole-in-ones now for sure.LLaL "Kneel Please!"is much better but Life of Brien (although I hardly seem to watch it because everybody is usually enjoying exess libation as we "watch it".)is almost the best film by those guys...really sqeeze a laugh out of me.People that are offended by those guys need to look on the bright side of life. In ink, Dabbler of Purgatory

Holy Games

well, almost ! Monty Python and their wonderful LIFE OF BRIAN, is a great laugh; and you are quite right - it is not offensive. Brian is clearly heard telling the followers to "f**k off" as he isn't the messiah! To be honest I am sick to death of the so called pc culture, here in the UK the christians are told not to put up certain decorations in public places in case some other religious followers are offended.It appears that the goverment here are pro muslim and anti christian, which obviously causes tension between them! This is the required effect, as it plays into their hands. Back to the poem!!! Not my best, and I will work on it. Sorry for rambling...........scone anyone? Lenny in kneeling pose !!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this. Reading your comment above helps me to see a little further into it. I hear you on the religious fanaticism and the locals. Once again, wonderful poem.
