<\/a><\/p>\nThis is just to show you whose boss around here.<\/p>\n
It’ll keep you on your toes, so to speak,<\/p>\n
Make you put your best foot forward, so to speak,<\/p>\n
And give you something to turn your hand to, so to speak.<\/p>\n
You can face up to it like a man,<\/p>\n
Or snivvle and blubber like a baby.<\/p>\n
That’s up to you.\u00a0 Nothing to do with Me.<\/p>\n
If you take it in the right spirit,<\/p>\n
You can have a bloody marvelous life,<\/p>\n
With the great rewards courage brings,<\/p>\n
And the beauty of accepting your LOT.<\/p>\n
And think how much good it’ll do your Mum and Dad,<\/p>\n
And your Grans and Gramps and the rest of the shower,<\/p>\n
To be stopped being complacent.<\/p>\n
Make sure they baptise you, though,<\/p>\n
In case some murdering bastard<\/p>\n
Decides to put you away quick,<\/p>\n
Which would send you straight to LIMB-O, ha ha ha.<\/p>\n
But just a word in your ear, if you’ve got one.<\/p>\n
Mind you DO take this in the right spirit,<\/p>\n
And keep a civil tongue in your head about Me.<\/p>\n
Because if you DON’T,<\/p>\n
I’ve got plenty of other stuff up My sleeve,<\/p>\n
Such as Leukemia and polio,<\/p>\n
(Which incidentally your welcome to any time,<\/p>\n
Whatever spirit you take this in.)<\/p>\n
I’ve given you one love-pat, right?<\/p>\n
You don’t want another.<\/p>\n
So watch it, Jack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After years of thinking and writing about God’s cruelty, I only recently found this casually biting poem.
