Dean Wood Poet Light Verse

Of Cleanliness and Godliness

Of Cleanliness and Godliness, the adage appoints;
God will be proximate to the most cleanly joints.
Now, Craig’s place is clean, I mean, his pad is bright!
And Steve lives on Craig’s left while I’m on the right.

The way that I figure, if that old saying’s true,
Then Steve’s digs are painted a deified hue. 
Steve must be holy as holy can be,
‘Cause he’s next to Craig’s place, and God is not me!
