CONSUBSTANTIALITY...LIKE
REALLY REALLY. . . *****!
( for Eddie )

God the Father
God the Son
& the Holy Ghost

flat-share
at no.42 Holy Trinity Flats, Guildford.

Not exactly the best
idea in the Universe

for this rather dysfunctional
family unit.

God the Father
tries to get out

of doing the hovering but
(ha hah yes ... it’s Sunday ... His day ).

God the Son runs
a bath and when

the water’s just about
right ... then he... practises

walking upon it.

“I wish you wouldn’t ... do that!”
says God the Father jealously.

“Sorry ... God the Dad!
Just trying to get to ...haha...Carnegie Hall!"

‘Ere this Being
3 persons

in the one God thingy
is doin’ me nut in!

I don’t know how humans
get their heads round it!”

God the Father
harrumphs omnipotently

“I did it for a lark .. didn’t I?”
he wheezes asthmatically.

“Didn’t think they’d ever
believe it!”

“Now, the joke’s on me!”

“You seen THE HOLY GHOST?”
enquires God the Father pretend-politely.

“Naw ... our Da!
I thought he was ...like...with you!”

“Will you stop turning wine into water!
Anyway you got it **** 'bout ***..you & your party tricks!”

(“Sorry ... our Da”
squeals God the Son)

“Well, listen, you see...
(you listening to me?)

you tell him it’s his turn
to do the washing up!"

God the Father
storms off in a huff.

“Geeeeeez!” whinges God the Son.
“Geeeeeez!”

* Not to be confused with. . . .CONSUBSTANTIATION!

. . .which as you well know is “a theological doctrine that attempts to describe the nature of the Christian Eucharist in concrete metaphysical terms.” The God element and the bread element co-exist simultaneously until it's time for the God guy to pop out with his usual "Surprise!" One can almost imagine( if one were moi that is )the God sitting there in a coat of dough and reading the racing news whilst waiting for the priest to do his stuff.
