the sky sure does look religious today

i wrote a story once,
quite a few years ago about a small
boy going to church with his mother.
i had one line in it that
i still remember.
the sky sure looks religious today,
don't it mother?
the little boy said.
it was a light story, no one died
or got killed,
although there was a car wreck.
there was infidelity involved,
and a dog. and a church going mother.
like i said.
it was years back. but even now
i can relate to it.
eventually i had it published in
a small college magazine, but by
mistake they put someone else's name
as the author. my name was no
where to be found.
it didn't matter though, payment was in
copies, which i got a few.
they had my address right, at least.
