Holier Than Thou-Humor

There was an old woman fron Shem.
Uponst hearing a bad word, sighed,  "Amen"

Holier With Thou

My continuing impatience problem
with smug fundamentalists
self-asserting holier than thou moral positions,

To be told you have them is like a dreaded disease
The mere knowledge of it transforms you
Questions pour in yearning for answers
I am confused
But I pray with you?…… I pray for you

Holier Than Thou

Two men went up to the temple to pray,
A Pharisee, a publican, each a different way.
The hypocrite stood up and prayed out loud
In his priestly robe with lofty eyes so proud,
"God, thank you that I'm not like any other man,

I fast twice a week unlike those who transgress
