Jesus Believed Hell's Worm Does Not End, Its Fire Does Not Go Out

In Mark 9 there's a fire asbestos

Not fleeting, as if just to test us:

Where the worm is eternal

And the flame, unquenchable.

Repeated three times! Imbecillus!

The Eternal Flame

In Mark there's a fire asbestos

Not fleeting, as if just to test us:

Where their worm is eternal

And their flame, unquenchable.

Repeated three times! Imbecillus!

With Rob Bell . . . in Hell

There once was a pastor named Bell

His first sermon, chronicl'd in hell:

"Jesus' radical love is a scandal!

That's why I took off my sandals!"

Twofold more child of hell than yourselves.

Story here.

On Gin

This limerick’s for purging my sin,

Ousting lust and desire from within,

Which leaves oodles of space

For agape and grace,

Plus humility, virtue, and gin.

-- Robin Kay Willoughby

Four in the Morning Blues

Green grass I have long since stopped mowing,
And it's time for a new kind of growing:
A beard on my face
Has taken its place
It's 10 below and it's snow that I'm blowing.

Of Druids and Fluids

One winter a fearless young Druid

dived into a rotating fluid.

But he was not ready

for such a fast eddy.

The poor fellow's head came unscruid.

To Infinity! And Beyond!

There was a young fellow from Trinity

Who took the square root of infinity.

But the number of digits

Gave him the fidgets;

He dropped Math and took up Divinity.

-- George Gamow, 1961
