Several Women Booked an Appointment with God at the Same Time
It’s true. It happened.
And against all odds, all three
Arrived on time.
Forced to choose
Among them, he hid
Under the desk.
He held his breath.
The women waited.
They were not impatient.
Not after all the hassle
Just to get here.
In fact, they traded
Passports. Mugshots.
They sang a few tunes
From the Old Country.
They had such awful voices,
He couldn’t stand it.
Stop it, he cried.
For god’s sake, stop it.
One dropped her purse.
The other her handkerchief.
The third took up a collection.
God pulled the fire alarm.
After all, these were unforeseen
Circumstances.
Time to vacate.
