One day at the Pearly Gates,
St. Pete was getting older
When Jesus happened bye-by fate
Pete asked if he'd "take over"

"I need a break to stretch my legs,
Would you watch the gate for me?"
Being the kindest man that ever lived,
He said, "Sure, take a break old Pete."

A moment later came a man,
Quite old and shedding tears,
Asked about his long lost son
He hadn't seen in years.

Jesus said, "Well tell me sir,
About this missing lad?"
The man said he was unusual
With the "scarring" that he had.

He said, "It is my son you see
He has holes in hands and feet."
Jesus stood back and said with glee;
"Father I have wondered, when again we'd meet."

The man looked up with tearful joy,
Said, "I can't believe it's true,
Are you my one and only son?
Pinnochio..Is that you?"

Well done Toe
That was quite swell
Verging on perfection I fear

And one day you know
If you continue so
You could be as good as Effjayel next year…

The story of Geppetto
And Jesus that you’ve hatched
Has moved me to reply “Well done”

PS: no strings attached.

Irreverent, sacrilegious, ~ and downright hysterical!

Mistaken identity, indeed! BIG TIME! lol

Your sharp, comedic mind is a rear find! ~ I mean, is a "rare" find.

I really enjoy your puppetry! ~ er, "poetry"!

Loves 'n Laughs,
