Religious Irony
I kept my hands clean today
No unholy things for me today
I snubbed my neighbor twice
For twice the heathen greeted me
I gave him barbed advice
For each time he had cheated me
I kept my hands clean today
No unpleasant things for me today
I went nowhere where one could find
Sinning folk or those in need
I chastized a beggar who was blind
Accused a friend of pride and greed
I kept my hands clean today
No ungodly things for me today
I avoided adulterers and ******
And gluttons, thieves, and tools
I gave a penny to the poor
And two cents to a fool
I kept my hands clean today
So God, why didn't you bless me today?
