Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Westboro Baptist Church Pickets Pine Trees

Westboro Baptist Church Pickets Pine Trees

By Elton Camp

The reverend and flock are at it again
Pine trees they condemn for gross sin

All that yellow pollen got their attention
Its horrid perversion they had to mention

Pine trees have parts, both male and female
A fact that makes the righteous turn pale

“Little cones, the male pollen make.
Woody cone are female--a mistake.”

“Our God made them Adam and Eve.
These *** trees are hard to believe.”

So this is what their posters had to tell
“These pine trees are going right to hell”

At a pine tree, they marched all around
Shouting, “This tree must be cut down!”

“God hates this tree and we hate it too.
For being bisexual, its punishment is due.”

Dr.Ram Mehta April 20, 2014 at 6:22 AM Wonderful write and congrats on your poem being featured this week, elton Elton Camp April 20, 2014 at 6:38 AM Thank you. This was written before the "pastor" of WBC died. That type sect often disbands after its leader passes off the scene. We will see. Elton

Donna Jones April 14, 2013 at 9:10 AM Haha...just about right!!! Elton Camp April 14, 2013 at 10:35 AM LOL, I've ridiculed this small group's fanatism so much that I wouldn't be suprised if they picketed in front of my house! But it's not entirely clear how many of them can read so maybe they won't see my various writes about them. Likely, they are expending lots of time and energy struggling with the concept of upright locomotion. Elton
