Notes About The Poem

Galileo, a great scientist

Aztec God

Bacchus, Gof of Wine ( one of my favs )

Huitzilopo

Freya

Shiva

Hashem ( atrists rendition )

This is a parody, a comedy, and a poem to ponder, its is not meant ib any deeper way. I wa reading today on a major find in France of which I will show you the link.

New Discovery in South of France

The article is from the BBC

 

I have had many hours of conversation with White Wolfe here, his knowledge of all the ancient Gods also brought this to mind. He is a kind soul and a fine philsopher! If I say it, its true!

Here is also a link to his recent poem on Soup!! Enjoy!

The Sword. The Spear, The Shield

 

Gods At the Comedy Club

The house was full
Of Gods and deities
The curtain call was soon
The water vasos were poured
And became the finest of wines
The bread multiplied
The baker you see
Was a part time magician
The fishermen all relaxed
As I saw fish fall from the skies

Ra was there
Oh my the tan on him, poor harif
Huitzilopochtli glared at his competition
Toth and Horus with godly grins
God himself was there
The door man didn’t check id's though
A few came with the same name
If they paid their gold coins at the doors
Of Godly entertainment
In they came

Thor arrived like a bolt of lightening
The Greek gods exposed as fakes
Trumpets of false prophecies
Sessions and courts left to fate
For dereference we let them in for a beer, ok two!
The other Gods chuckled as they sneered
Even Batman showed up!!!
He wasn’t a god, but he had good connections
Allah was there, 4 cows, Shiva and Ganesha
Rama and Agni were even holding hands
The house was full of Gods
Jesus Christ showed up late
Hippies do that you know
Funniest of all was the Holy Ghost
He tried to sneak in with Casper
Hashem and Galmi came, they got discounts on the tickets
You all get the point
Bacchus charming the ladies with his wine
As Thalia ecaaped the wrath of Pan
She smiled for she new Galileo a charming man
The house was full of Gods!



The Norse gods resilient in beauty
Freya as captivating as ever
She had an eye on me
As I, on her
In charge of the curtains indeed a blessing
When a Goddess requests a stage hand like moi
Drapes of passion conceal the lust of biblical ways

The curtains rose as the headliner appeared
The Gods all rose and clapped
As Galileo the Great comedian walked in
He shouts out! "Did you hear the sun that travels around the earth?"
Well the sun got tired, so last week the earth decided to spin around the sun!
The crowd roared, I mean that was so ridiculous as to be funny.
The he goes, 2 dummies and the pope walk in to a bar......
Well the gods may have loved him........

The Pope did not take kindly to be called a dummy
He was Urban and mundane but held to his heart his earthly disdain
For the comedian called Galileo
Banishment, the paradise of many a great
Intellectuals
Arrested for using their intellectual credentials

The masses of the unread
Followers of the ones shouting hate at the mountain head
Rush , rush rush we must condemn
This comedian from earth’s very very dark end

The Comedy do you all see?
I am God
You are all the holy sea
From Galileo all the way to Galilee

Your mind must contain a library that you can make laugh, cry, or.... Deserving of a place in the classics.

Some very funny lines in this one, Arthur. I do believe there is a supreme being over all of us. Unfortunately He goes by way too many names!

I must admit I am partial to "Bacchus" myself. A very witty piece :)

Wow! That club was surely crowded! lol And, I see Budgie has gotten you into mythology too. It is very interesting and very complicated. That's why I'll stick to my one God of Love, Jehovah. It's simple like "moi". :)

You are hilarious. There are many different views about life, afterlife, god(s), religion. It is great we live in a place where we can make choices that feel right for us.

This is really a hoot Arthur! Second stanza fourth line...shouldn't Troth be Thoth (God of the Moon)? Unless you purposely wrote it that way for effect? You have a genius mind! : )
