Lost Causes Remastered

Santa Clauses were to be molten and reshaped into Holy Cross bunnies on a mega 3D printer but then the app somehow went wrong Chocolate trickled and trifled and mixed with fake season’s greetings King Kong and Godzilla leaped off the assembly line with Witches on lolly pop brooms and then the whole show went viral Mephistopheles aliens with marshmallow ears danced merrily Suddenly truffle snakes in seductive icing sugar bikinis tested tempted cotton sugar candy apples as big as paradise vowed and allowed They all swirled swished and tumbled to cacophonous tunes that had to be labelled as retro and neo-modern-classical rap-sorties At the exit of malfunctioning malls the Easter display went a tad pear-shaped as soon as the rabbits slipped out of their hats and mounted the chickens The mistress and master of ceremonial clangour had at problem at hand and some egg on their faces thus they squirted and squinted They pondered and squandered with no solution untouched for the task how to make more profits and be politically correct just the same ‘Megalomania’ and ‘Mega-High-Money’ the respective CEO’s of ‘Turn water into wine’ and the start-up ‘Chocolate Merry Go Round for the Soul’ Could not fail in this venture as not to have their heathen bonuses dissolved into cocoa mousse splash After meetings and brain storms pilot studies and polls they decided to craft a whole new religion (the Independent Unseasonal Reformed Epiphanists) Fortunately the United Philistines of Consumption were too busy to notice that the newly created faithful were simply rehashing an old dogma of money What a shame that those lovely chocolate coins have gone out of fashion and That Buddhists would not want their spiritual model to melt under the fig tree 09th April 2018 Written for the contest Easter 2018
