KING OF LOVE
The king of kings lord in heaven above
Holds the power in His kingdom of love
Not love of power but the power of love
HE IS
He is the earth
The wind and the fire
He is the sun
That rises in the east
And sets in the west
He is the tree in bud
And the mare in foal
He is the rain that gently falls
He is the birdsong
And the cockcrow
He is the staff of life
He is the Son of God
The prince of peace
THERE
You are there
When I face adversity
And in times of conflict
When I encounter trajedy or loss
You are there
When I experience joy
And at times of happiness
When I feel pride and count my blessings
You were there
When my children entered the world
And at their baptisms
When they married and when loved ones passed
You are always there
Dear lord
PRAYER
I pray to my god
When my heart is full
And when it is empty
When I just need to speak
And when I need an answer
When I have joy to share
And when at my lowest
I pray to my god
Who always listens?
AN UNDERSTANDING GOD
God didn’t say
You must circumcise your children
God didn’t say
You can have ten wives
God didn’t say
You mustn’t use a condom
God didn’t say
You must pray five times a day
God didn’t say
My priests cant marry
God didn’t say
Woman must be covered at all times
God didn’t say
You cannot divorce
God didn’t say
Divorcees cannot remarry in church
God didn’t say
You must remove your shoes in my house
God didn’t say
You must kill the infidel
God didn’t say
There is only one church
God didn’t say
You must ritually wash your feet
Man said these things
These rules were made by men
A GOOD CHRISTIAN
Dorothy spinster of this parish
With her sister taught Sunday school
For over fifty years
Both good Methodists and good Christians
Their lives dedicated to the church
To ensure the future of their church
Dorothy left a large bequest to the church
The church sought to honor a good woman
And dedicated in her name
A room within the church
For ever to be named after her
GOD AND SCIENCE
I believe in God
I believe him to be the creator
The creator of heaven and earth
Of the stars and the planets
I believe him to be the creator of the universe
The scientific community
Talk of the big bang
Which sparked off the creation of the universe
They call God a myth
And his creation a myth
Science of course call it the big bang theory
Theory being science speak for a guess
Or put another way a belief
They can no more prove their belief
Than I can prove the existence of God
For all there contempt for belief systems
They are locked in one of their own making
I have faith in the creation
But if there was a big bang
Then God pressed the button

THE LIGHTER SIDE OF FAITH
WISE CONFUCIUS
Wise Confucius spoke about his creed
Do not walk behind me for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead of me for I may not follow
Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow
Do not walk near me or step in my zone
So just bugger off and leave me alone
THE ASTI
I think I am no ordinary man
Which begins my monologue
I am Dyslexic and an Atheist
But to complete my catalogue
Now I am an Insomniac as well
And I no longer sleep like a log
Instead I now lie awake at night
Wondering if there really is a Dog
OH GOD A WOMAN
I think God must be a Woman
I feel that this I must confide
For a Man would never have put
The male genitals on the outside
SAVED
The Salvation Army tries to perform
The thankless task of social reform
Treading the weary path to glory
Saving poor girls from Iniquity
If they are saving fallen women
I’ve just one thing to say then
When saving girls from Iniquity
Save the red headed one for me
WHY AM I HERE?
If it's true as the Church tells us so
That we are here to help others galore
Then perhaps the Church could tell me
What exactly the others are here for?
THE ANCIENT ART OF HAPPINESS
My Feng Shui man isn’t very happy
Unless the signs I have misread
But I don’t believe for a second
It’s anything that I have done or said
I think it’s the more likely that he
Got up on the wrong side of the bed
ETERNITY
An atheist was arguing
With holy men
And questioning the existence
Of heaven
One holy man said
That if you are precise
And there is no afterlife
Or any paradise
Its not like you’ll be able
To tell anyone
But if we are right
Then your fucked son
THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS
A man was walking one night
Down a lane without a light
Thinking that he heard a sound
The man then turned around
Someone jumped him suddenly
And assaulted him violently
Badly beaten and then robbed
He lay in the road and sobbed
Injured for many hours he lay
Many people had passed his way
Only one stopped, not to assist
To take his watch off his wrist
Hours later came a Samaritan
A social worker name of Stan
He was greatly shocked to see
Deeds committed by humanity
“Whoever hit you on the head
Really needs some help,” he said
UPRIGHT CHRISTIANS
The puritans have acted radically
By banning fornicating vertically
Only missionary style resembling
No table ending or knee trembling
What made them take the measure?
To restrict to horizontal pleasure
The theory that they are advancing
Is that the act may lead to dancing
I DON’T BELIEVE IT
The problem is when faith is lost
It isn’t that we believe in nothing
But rather the opposite is true
We start to believe in anything
OUR SARAH
A three-year-old called Sarah
Was reciting the lords prayer
"Our Father, Who does art in heaven
Harold is His name Amen."
FATHER, SON &
A Sunday school teacher asked her class,
"What was the name of Jesus' mother?"
One little child answered proudly "Mary"
The teacher said, “well done very clever”
The teacher then asked another question
"What was the name of Jesus' father?"
A boy called Terry answered "it’s Verge"
the teacher was Confused at the answer
She said, “that’s not the right answer”
Where did you get verge from Terry?"
The boy said, "Well you know everyone
Is always talking about Verge n' Mary
DEAR LORD
As to the lord God he was praying
A little boy was overheard saying
By his auntie Irene and Uncle Roy
“If you can’t make me a better boy
Please don't worry about it then
I'm having a good time as I Am." amen
CHILDISH PRAYER
When I was a boy I prayed to god
For a new bike for me
Than I realized that god
Doesn’t work like that you see
So I stole one instead
And asked him to forgive me
Wise Confucius spoke about his creed

Do not walk ahead of me for I may not follow

IT’S THE QUIZ OF THE WEEK
IT’S THE QUIZ OF THE WEEK # 1
I laugh in the face of quiz shows
With their supercilious so and so’s
I scoff at the “Mastermind” chair
And “Who wants to be a millionaire”
I spit on Ken Bruce’s “Pop Master”
The “Brain of Britain” or “The Krypton factor”
The only quiz worthy of its name
Is the excellent “Keithy’s guessing game”
IT’S THE QUIZ OF THE WEEK # 2
Keithy’s guessing game
Is full of gems and jewela
Questions on music trivia
Set to expose the fools
My only complaint, is that he
Keeps changing the bloody rules
Keith is a guy that I work with and he entertains us with his amusing daily quiz, Keithy’s guessing game
It’s predominantly a music quiz but invariably branches off into other areas.

CRIME WATCH
To reduce rising crime
There are criteria to meet
One of which is of course
More “Bobbies” on the beat
Preventative measures help
Taking precaution certainly
Locking doors and windows
Fitting alarms and CCTV
But the only certain way
For your possessions to remain
And for streets to be crime free
Is to stay indoors and pray for rain

GET A GRIP
It was when I was at the hospital today
I had undressed and was sat waiting
When the nurse said quite sharply
“You really must stop masturbating”
Alarmed I asked with tremulous voice
“Why is there something wrong Nurse Pugh?
She looked at me unsympathetically and said
“No it’s because I need to examine you”

PICKING FROM THE MENU
Looks can be so deceiving
When searching for a lover
If you make an instant judgment
Just hope they can deliver
So ladies beware when choosing
The macho over the wimp
If you expect to get king prawn
You may end up getting shrimp
