"This situation is extremely rare,
for now, I fear, they'll just have to share
until Mankind begins to listen again,
yes..I know,... it is a terrible strain,
and I know - it seems a little unfair,
but this panic will get us nowhere.
Even Ezekiel, Lord bless him, is struggling for work,
the last soul he brought up was Micky O'Rourke,
but he's been helping Raguel control the mob,
until he's offered another transporting job."
A spokesman for Angel Welfare
commented solemnly on the tragic affair.

"That's all fine, but we need a plan,
in order to win back the faith of Man.
We cannot continue in this vain forever,
we need something witty, brilliant and clever."
argued the head of Working Angels Union.
"Offer them more wine at Holy Communion,
coax them with choccies instead of flatbread,
they'll feel more relaxed and better fed.
Re-vamp the Bible with a comic twist,
Man may see all the fun he's missed.
Retrain the Angels that go door to door,
they must be able to convert many more.
It's time that we got more inventive
and starting offering a better incentive!"

The solemn spokesman stopped and stared
in disbelief at what he'd just heard.
"Don't you think that's a little extreme?
I can't see God being all that keen.
A shake-up,..yes, that's fair and well,
but you may as well send Mankind to Hell.
Man will come around in time, I'm sure,
till then I'm afraid, we'll just have to endure."
He pondered on the problem a while,
then spoke out with a knowing smile.

"Increase the workforce on the ground,
double Angel presence in every town.
That'll reduce disputes here I vow,
and calm angelic fears for now.
Target the kids,..they see us you know,
and faith again once more will grow..
...back to basics, that's the key,
and in the course of time you'll see
that unemployement levels will fall,
there'll be jobs a plenty again for all.
So don't despair my winged freind,
be patient, I'm sure Faith will win in the end."
