Frank E Gibbard Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 On Holy Days I will put on "The Life Of Brian" Personally the nearest I get to a spiritual treat Good humour is solace to me akin to religion Easter serves only to egg me on to overeat Surfeits of cold chocolate and hot cross buns Leavened by sups from Satire’s irreverent cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenlangur Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi Frank, Love the image of Satire's irreverent cup - chimes in well with the Monty Phytonesque approach to Easter celebrations Another brilliant line: Easter serves only to egg me on to overeat - good word play on egg for this seasonally themed poem. After 40 days of Lent who can blame you for a bit of Easter excess? goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.

tonyv Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 One can sense the cynicism in both poem and title, Frank. I agree with the others' astute observations.
