Ain't It Somethin'

Weekly Writing Prompt: Like A Thundercloud
2

Greetings from Moab! An audio update in lieu of long text intro this week!

Lightning strikes Thunders a rollin’
Up in heaven God is bowling
He’s got beer & hotdogs too
Ain't it somethin’
He’s just like me & you

Jesus was an American
It’s as plain as it seems 
The greatest nation’s heaven on earth
We’re first in line you see

So say it proud son, let it fill the air
It smells as fresh as the one hanging 
From my  review mirror 
Ain’t it somethin’ 

It takes a truck load of arrogance 
Once you realize 
Even something a huge as God 
we anthropomorphize 
Ain’t it somethin’ 

The Devil on my shoulder made me do it
You see once you shift the blame there’s nothing to it
All those evil thoughts and bad wishin'
Better to ask forgiveness than permission
Ain’t it somethin’ 
 
They say an angel came down from heaven
To save that son of a bitch
Or could it just be that the shooter
Missed him by an inch…  ain’t it somethin’

Lightning strikes Thunders a rollin’
Up in heaven god is bowling
He’s got beer & hotdogs too
Ain't it somethin’
He’s just like me & you

He’s just a red-blooded
Self-fearing 
Son of a bitch 
Just like me and you

It was very worth it.

This is the point where everything went awry. Note: Fresh footprints = Not necessarily the right direction…

Pit stop - sock change

Night before the long hike. Not pictured: the 100+ other tourists waiting for their photo op.
