Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Limerick

Of God and Men

He created earth and heaven
and established the laws even
And then, ha! He rested
His time fully vested...
As an afterthought He made Men!


~A Limerick contest of Robert Haigh

~Mark Twain quote: "Man was made at the end 
of the week's work when God was tired."

"Write with the wit of Twain" contest by Andrea Dietrich

I liked Mark Twain's twist of humor in this and I believe we just have to take everything in life with a pinch of salt! Appreciate your observations. Sara Kendrick July 25, 2015 at 5:24 AM Actually, after God had made everything perfect for man to live then He made a man after His own image..To top it off then He made woman..Sara

Suzanne Delaney July 20, 2015 at 4:00 PM Excellent......I sometimes wonder that myself. A great expansion on the quote. Cheers SuZ Abdul Malik Mandani July 25, 2015 at 11:25 AM Absolutely! We just believe what we are told--who's there to prove one way or the other! I see some truth in Mark Twain's words or why else would the world be in so much trouble?
