REPRINTED FROM HERE...
Saying it once does not suffice
Therefore, I will say it twice
At the Church of the Solid Cinder
There was no Original Sin
But there was
The Original Twin
So much smaller in stature
With eyes never opened wide
Little Joey Christ
Was equally crucified
Except for the Solid Cinder
All scripture is at a loss
Accounting for the existence
Of a miniature cross
Big Brother Jesus
Got all the press
Little Twin Joey
Always made a mess
Present at the Miracle
Of the Loaves & Fishes
Joey created black suds
To wash all the dishes
He turned water into mud
His only words were
Thud Thud Thud
Of Joey's official miracle–
History gave no talk–
Little Joey Christ
Made chocolate into chalk
But no devil is
This Little He
Who only believed
In Tomfoolery
As for me...
The scribe I be...
May need hide in a vault
If that's what it takes–
For jocular "mistakes"–
To avoid being reduced
To a pile of salt
