THE PREACHER CREATURE FEATURE.......2004


picture it!
an old-timey Saturday matinee…

it’s the prehistoric preacher man
risen from the black lagoon
come up onto dry jungle land
to PREY!!! PREY!!! PREY!!!
upon the unsuspecting baboons

this verryyy scarryyy guyyyy
rolls his pious eyes
towards the saintly skies
and screams
PRAY!!! PRAY!!! PRAY!!!

comes back every day
for a roll between church sheets
until they're lousy
with preacher swamp disease

because he aims to satisfy
he tries so hard to please
no one really sees
how many of them he eats

very anti-religious, I like....."the most mean spirited people you will meet are the ones with a religious spirit......-shells

o dear now, ds, have I ever learned that one the hard way!

and they're EVERYWHERE!

ALL religions are the same

just like on Halloween

they hide
inside the churches
with the saints

and bide their own sweet time
with all their pious is's
and their ain't's

anywhere you wanna
get serious about God
they're hangin' round you
dizzy and delirious
in cahoots with Gog and Megog

the worse ones are the subtle thiefs
well-practiced in manipulations
controlling and deceit

I know them all
can spot 'em short or tall
took fifty years of learnin'
and I ain't got no yearnin'
to ever be returnin'

mikeypal, i love this title.

Creature Features after Sat. Night Live was one of my preferred horrors.
I had a girl friend like that.
Sometimes we'd make a party of it.
Next morning, Sunday, folks would be passed out in the living room.
I would turn on the TV to a Preacher show..no sound..and sit behind the tube.
Then, I'd do his sermon in the Big voice they teach those guys in Seminary.
Wake everybody up with another hangover.


A great poem triggers great memories like these.
Wonder if that's why i can't sleep tonight..a creature sleeping it off under my bed?
Yeah, it's the girl friend!


I always liked that 8 1/2 movie. The hero ends up in hell with ALL of his old girlfriends.
There are some things you just don't want Mama to know!

you are soooo much fun, O thou brilliant sun...I adore the off-beat way we see things...

and I'm glad to see at least two people can grock my sense of humor and have a healthy perspective on the "over-the-top and ridiculous"...




thank you,
