This is a song on Alias Punch album#2, A New Shade of Blue

Graveyard Gravy on my back,
Won't you wipe it off,
A sponge and holy water will do,
Oops, you missed a spot,

When you're done washing out my brain,
What will you do?
Put me up on a shelf,
And find someone new?

Bruise your knees and bow for your soul,
Any way you can,
You searched for truth and found a book,
Written by some men,

I understand your need for meaning,
But you've got fool's gold,
Kiss a crucifix and relax,
You did what you're told,

Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Blah blah blah
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Don't get hot,
But you know you've got,
to sit up on a stove,
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Blah blah blah
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Watch me eat,
All kinds of sweets,
As I tell you not to tempt your tongue,

Send an email out to the Saints,
Ask for condolences,
A push up and a penny will save,
All of your parents' kids,

I know that you just need something,
Because so do I,
But do you really think your Great Granddaddy,
Found the truth in the sky?

Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Blah blah blah
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
I love you so,
And don't you know,
That salvation's in my pants,
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
Blah blah blah
Sunday Morning,
Preacher says,
His Blood and Flesh,
Yes they really mesh,
With my clothing choice tonight,

I enjoyed the poem, but you're kind of preaching to the choir here. (pun intended).

[Gabriella]

I'm glad to have had the pleasure of reading such an original and well thought out poem. I am always pleased to meet people that aren't afraid to speak their mind about so-called sensitive topics. My favorite lines here would have to be the last four. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece.

A very satire look at religion and Church. Awesome poem

[no one]

This is such a great poem, it made me laugh, but held great truth. Well done!
