Salt Lake Pity

A Mormon in search of his god
Took an hike where the Saints had trod
When he went lame
The angels came
Preaching, "Nike shoes are for Nod!"

G'day Rico ... those guys and gals do plenty of walking and knocking. No wonder they become lame - thanks Rico - Lindsay

I can not imagine why any religion would need missionaries, but the pandemic has made it easier to slam doors in their face! Aloha! Rico

I've noticed that religious people are quick to find fault with everyone and everything, so I imagine angels must be pros! So 3-minutes would be enough for me to zoom into Nod! Aloha! Rico
