I serve unclean meat...

The children of Enoch

I kept the stegosaurus hidden because I do not trust neighbors
They call if the cat jumps over the fence
Police have been here twice about me putting my garbage out

The Lord is my contractor
He  supplies my tools
He let's me choose green pastures
He shows me great horizons 
He renews my permits
He allows a floral archway entrance

Even when the inspector
 gawks and delays
I remain steadfast & calm
For you are in...

Dorothy is notoriously late
Because she wants to make an entrance?
Heck no.

Relatives lie to her and tell her things start an hour earlier
So she will be almost on time, and she still gets there late.

Dorothy is not trying for attention
She does not like...
