Heaven’s Little Helper

Uh oh SpaghettiOs! God grabs 
a Bounty™ paper towel
to clean up the mess.

Yanks open the kitchen’s
junk drawer, hands me pliers
rusty with stigmata,

A jar of leftover screws labeled
“Inquisition,” boxes of mismatched
church bells and hunchbacks.

How is this all my problem?
Must I crawl under the world’s sink, clear
clogged pipes of brotherly & sisterly love?

Damn it! Can I get some lightning and thunder
under here? ”Filius canis!” Vulgar Vulgate Latin
for my blood-blistered thumb.

No way to unsee God’s plumber-butt.
Winking, hands me a monkey-wrench –
“My favorite.”

Rummaging in the tool box –
“What this?” I ask.
“The stud finder they used

on Jesus’s wrists.”
OMG!! Drop it like a hot
fallen angel.

Am I heaven’s husband now,
with a celestial Honey-Do list?
And how is that different

Than any other
Sunday afternoon
with my wife?

  1. No different. No different all probably! I loved the Latin SOB and laughed heartily at your ending. Turn off that game and get busy!

  2. I love the drawer full of mismatched church bells and hunchbacks. Hilarious. And God’s plumber-butt. And “Drop it like a hot fallen angel.” This was such a fun read!!!!!
