timerick rants on the Religious Right

NOTE:  an old, old friend of mine asked me to be on his radio talk show by phone in Albuquerque, New Mexico, yesterday.  He said he wanted to talk about the "Mormon life-style" after a visit to that city by Mitt Romeny.   I should have known better; he runs a chiristian radio station, and they all are up in arms over some kind of rumour that "Mormons believe the Devil is brother to the Saviour".  I've never heard this rigmarole before, have you?  But apparently it is a big deal w/the Huckabee campaign (even though he has officiallly denied it)  I yammered like an idiot when asked about it.  But I have my revenge: Huckabee is now a verb!
 
 
The Christian Right is raising Cain
and take the name of God in vain.
by claiming favored status when
it damns to hell the race of men
for blasphemy and other sins
but doesn't really care two pins
to listen to a point of view
that from their own might be askew.
Yet televangical misdeeds
are much more numerous than weeds
and mega-churches pocket sums
that make Wells Fargo look like bums
while crying up a Saviour that
had little more than sleeping mat.
Oh bigots of the pious right
with stoppered ears and blindered sight
How shall the truth make you be freed
as long as you are Huckabeed?
