The Problem with God

 

      Christ came into my room the other day

      and stood there,

      and I was bored to death,

      I had work to do.

      I wouldn't have minded if he'd been crippled or something

      ... I do well with cripples!

      but he just stood there... all face and with that damned guitar.

      I didn't ask him to sit down... He'd have stayed all day.

Let's be honest... you can be crucified just so often... then you've had it.

      I mean you're useless, no good to God, let alone to anybody else.

      So I said to him after a while,

      "Well, what's up? What is it you want?"

      and he laughed... stupid!

      Said he was just passing by and thought he'd say "Hello".

      Great!... I said "Hello"... So he left.

And I was damned mad! I couldn't even listen to the radio.

I went and got some coffee...

      The trouble with God is

      He always comes at the wrong time

      and in the wrong garb...
