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’s children, and their children after them
Have settled in a land far from these scepter’d isles
That they will form a game after mine own name;
And ply 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 orb as a leathern god;
Made of calf skin, gall bladder and woven thread
While prancing in the sun like the heathens whom I despise.
Yea, in due time they will carry on like loons
Cavorting butt nekkid in the sand and the sun
While smoking incense and myrrh from ungodly chalices
Like heathens unto Baal and graven images of Baal.
Did I say Baal?
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 rent his rainments before the Lord
And prayed that the day would not come,
When his children’s children,
And their children after them,
Would hail the leathern orb as holy Baal
Lest the Lord smite them with disease and pestilence
Because He alone is Holy.
(Selah)

None Dare Call It Holyball … or is it Baal: Play thing or quasi-religious artifact for sun-dazed lunatics? The leathern orb made of calfskin, bladder and woven thread.
