To the powers that be
(whoever is thee)
This petition to you
For an amendment or two
The heavenly virtues
We’ll leave them alone
At least ‘till our children
Are all fully grown
There’s a couple of sins
We’d like you to tweak
A minor adjustment
is all that we seek
Lust between spouses
Thee should permit
Without which these partnerships
Surely will split
The next sin is gluttony
here we humbly express
Without it our holidays
could all end in distress
Christmas and Easter,
thanksgiving and such
Just are’t the same
When we don’t eat too much
With penalties lifted
from only these two
Those remaining five
will be easier to chew
I love this! Especially the one about gluttony stands true.. eat away!!🍮
ReplyDeleteLuv luv that last verse. Nice tone of sarcasm
ReplyDeleteMuch🌼love
I had a smile or two with this one... I hope the tweak or two goes through... :)
ReplyDeleteHa, you're a girl after my own heart. A nicely humble and rational petition; hope it is heard!
ReplyDeleteAh lust and gluttony...these are a few of my favorite things!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we need to be a bit more tolerant... as long as we are vigilant against greed.
ReplyDeleteoh, what fun in the tongue in cheek! *snorting with laughter in great delight*
