And the Lord God spake unto Adam saying,
Hearken unto the word of the Lord oh son of man
For it shall come to pass in the last days
When your children and their children’s children have settled
In a land far from known shores
That they will invent a game after mine own name;
And pursue it with a leathern orb
Made of calf-skin and woven thread.
But they will not call it holy
Lest I smite them with disease and pestilence
Because I, the Lord God, alone am Holy.
oooO000
But a time will come when their children’s children,
And their children after them
Will hail the leathern orb as god;
While dancing and prancing in the sun like heathens
Whom I wholly despise.
Yea, in due time they will carry on like lunatics
Cavorting naked in sand and sun
While smoking frankincense and myrrh
Like unto Baal and graven images of Baal.
Did I say Baal? Yes, I guess did
000O000
Yes, your children’s children and their children after them
Will do all these things,
But they will not hail the leathern orb as holy
Lest I smite them with disease and pestilence
Because I, the Lord God alone am Holy.
000O000
And Adam hearkened unto the word of the Lord
And prayed intently that the day would not come,
When his children’s children,
And their children after them,
Would hail the leathern orb as holy
The same made of calf-skin and woven thread,
Lest the Lord God smite them with disease and pestilence
Because He alone is Holy.
