Those Nasty Products of the Fall
Heart issues comin’ down From the maternal side And brain issues from the paternal Here and there comin’ diurnal: Those nasty products of the Fall. Oh, Adam done wrong to us all! Got a grievance to bring to the Lord (You know He’s got to be bored! That whinin’ and cryin’ every day From humans […]

Perverts Do What Perverts Do
“Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one!” So goes the flippant quip offered by Some asinine pro-aborts in reply To the call for folks to stop murdering Those little ones in the womb. Quite a stupid little quip, indeed. Like: “Opposed to slavery? Then don’t buy any slaves!” “Opposed to rape? Then, Just don’t rape anybody!” […]

Unwanted Toys
Thanks be to God for the lack Of reproduction among those hacks Who renounce that life of the unborn And prefer that he be torn From a woman on her back Suffering under terrible lies: That a baby’s worth is a matter of size! Let them contracept themselves away! The fewer of them in the […]

Pater Familias Paraphernalia
Pater familias paraphernalia Is a problem in our house: Dad likes to save mementos: Mom likes to throw them out! Everyone’s got his “thing” to do: Some like to work, some like to chew And don’t know just what to do. We, each, have a plan; Can’t just sit, (You understand!): Some like to write, […]

Song of Songs (3:7f.)
That traveling couch of Solomon Had sixty men round about. They could each wield that sword; Yeah, they were experts in war! (8) With that blade on his side, No man had to hide, For fear of terrors of the nightHad a real Sedan chair From the timber of Lebanon. (9) The posts were made […]

Ike and the Ladies (or “Family Reflections”)
Ike grew up with lots of carping; There were ladies everywhere. Over anything they loved to chirp (He offered no more than a burp), But he made a way through the harem Played around sometimes to scare ’em. ‘Twas a mighty fine way to grow up! Then college came along to interrupt. They, each, had […]

The Devil
Devil keeps thrashing at the Church, Cutting off a leg here, an arm there, But never quite getting that blow, The lethal one to the neck! He just can’t seem to get there. O but relentless he tries and lies To himself and everyone, and he cries: “I’ll cut your throat! I’ll kill you!” But […]

Liberals and Muslims
Liberals and Muslims cohere! I know it sounds kind o’ queer, But they both reject the King Doin’ the same kind o’ thing. Talking ’bout the Law without God, The True One who gave the Big Ten! Came down and for His people died, Not easy; He was crucified! That One is not their God, […]

Not a Regular Trooper
Now, if I were a trooper, Not a regular pooper, I’d want my life to count! Not a run-o’-the-mill guy; I can tell you why: Bought by the One who had to die When the Father sent Him down; Had to give up that crown. So I give up mine just the same; It’s not […]

Was an Abortuary
Was an abortuary down the road While he was kickin’ against the goad Not sure just what it was He was livin’ for. Well he gave it a think, Didn’t need to take a drink; He could blow it up While clean and sober. So grabbed a rock or two Didn’t have time to stew […]

“Fanataborts” in Prose
(A Desperate Situation) So it seemed, to the dominant party in Germany back in the days of the Holocaust, were those who were resisting the power and authority of the Reich to purge the nation of “rats.” Those Jews were a drag upon the lives of the progressive German people – men and women! The […]

Fanataborts
“Anytime, anywhere, anybody” Kill those babies! Make ’em die! We just love to live that lie: Nothin’ but a “blob” in that womb, But if it’s a baby, put ‘im in a tomb! Got no time! Got no room! You know we got lots to do. Might have a child someday; Maybe two! But if […]

Remember? Children are a Blessing!
What is it with people and divine blessings? “One and done”? “Two and we’re through”? “Three and we’re free”? Think that’s liberty? From what? The blessing of children? When did the Word get supplanted By liars and birth-control bandits? How about some attention to Law What does God say to us all? Says those children […]
