No Fighting At the Table
L. Ron Hubbard and
Joseph Smith were
fighting at the table.
Again.
Dinner, ruined.
Jesus looked pissed.
Mahatma Gandhi
gave Mother Teresa
a look–
“Here they go again.”
“We know there are infinite worlds; infinite possibilities,”
said one.
“Yes, but only one Savior,”
said the other.
Edgar Cayce butted in.
“Aren’t you both overdue for an incarnation?”
“Don’t start, Edgar,”
said Aristotle.
Satan threw an apple,
setting off a food fight
that lasted ten centuries–
until, at last,
Jesus stood.
“No fighting at the table.”

Thank you, Jim! Let he who is without sin cast the first meatball.
Witty and fun to read. Nice work!
Thank you, Lisa!
I never heard of Edgar Cayce before I read this poem.now I wish I hadn’t wasted 5 minutes reading about him on Wikipedia.He was a charlatan though, in the mode of L.Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith. Nice little ditty about absurdity
Thank you, Chappy. The Wizard of Oz was a “charlatan”, but he still helped Dorothy and her friends, if you take my meaning.
Loved it!
This in particular!

Thank you, Tony! It’s been awhile, so I think he’s over it now.
