A sewage worker was born again
finding Jesus down the drain
a moment of light and truth of sorts
where the underworld contorts.
Breathing methane was the cause
yet still an event to give us pause
he underwent a strange conversion
after seeing the browning version.
As above so below
where even common faecal flow
can bring a man to God it seems
who specializes in such extremes.
(The Browning Version: a play by Terence Rattigan
unconnected with the poem except by rhyming allusion)
Thought I'd read this somewhere before. Facebook. Good as gold Ray. Once knew a guy who worked on a sewage farm. Always got served first in the pub.
Poetic toilet humour at its finest 😄💩
Great one, Ray. The browning version is priceless, if not odourless.
Fabulous Ray. I love it
Extraordinary, Ray!
