Go kick the dog
I really must stop this silliness and get something done
It’s bank holiday, first chance for a rest
think I’m ready, cans in the fridge
She comes along before my bums hit the Seat
With a list of ‘justs’
‘It won’t take a moment’
I know that she’s been waiting at the kitchen window just for this chance
With gnashing of teeth,
Muttering I Love her,
but don’t like her very much right now
I go kick the dog!
God just won’t answer my prayer the way I want,
And has took His size tens
To my seat of doubting …
Do I do what He asks
Then in frustration
go kick the dog?
That look of terror of my faithful mut
My size ten connects with his seat of compassion
The yelp of pain that reflecting my anger and frustration
Yet with his waggly tail comes running back, licking, nuzzling giving unconditional love
If that doesn’t work and your frustration rages on,
Leave the cat alone
cat’s only hiss, spit and scratch
I know it not theologically sound
but you’re going to feel so much better,
and you can always go repent later
Go kick the dog!
