Ho Lee Moe Lee

They say I can't write about God
Nor how faithless the saints have trod
A Saint I ain't
I lack white paint
But you should see my fishing rod*

*Its telescopic!

Alas and Alack! Beware the hook: Webster's College Dictionary defines "telescopic" as: "4. COLLAPSIBLE consisting of parts that slide inside one another"
