I thought God might be willing to listen
to reason, so I worked up a proposal that
outlined some of my many concerns.
My primary objective in that twenty page
thesis of sheer elegance, that I was hoping
might impress Him, could be distilled into
this one, a bit long-winded hoot:
That you-God-would never be any less
furry, and always as accessible and loving
as my cat; and like her, sleep with your
head on my shoulder.
And, of course, don’t forget the
purrrrr!
