That Tastes Awful
I'll never forget it. I was a young boy eating at a Shoney's with my dad. I loved going to the buffet and he loved taking me because, like most young teenage boys, I had a hollow leg. I thought I found the jackpot as I scooped up some fluffy white goo. It was my whipped cream dream right there in the middle of the buffet. The shock on my face and the resulting gag made my dad laugh out loud when I realized after shoveling a spoonful in my mouth that what I had really found was sour cream. Have you ever grabbed a drink of water only to find out it was Sprite? The mother of all stories for me was when my friend and I were sitting on my porch talking. We were finishing up and I hastily grabbed one last drink of southern sweet tea from the cup before taking the dishes inside. To my stomach's dismay, I grabbed his cup of chewing tobacco spit. I think I turn green just talking about it.

3 WORTH OF GOD
I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.
Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep,
But just enough to equal a cup of warm milk,
Or a snooze in the sunshine.
I don't want enough of God to make me love a black man
Or pick beets with a migrant,
I want ecstasy, not transformation.
I want warmth of the womb, not new birth.
I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.
I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.
