can i get an amen?

there's someone out there
with a bad
liver,
i hear the prosperity preacher
screaming from
his televised pulpit.
he's wearing a white suit,
with a red bow tie.
there's someone out there with
a deep pain in
his liver
from drinking too much
alcohol.
if you pledge
and give a thousand dollars
right now,
i'll take that martini out
of your hand and heal
you.
i'll heal your aching liver.
call now on this 1 800 number,
and donate to the cause.
put your hand on
the phone and dial right now,
put your other hand
on the tv screen and a foot
on the door,
don't let anyone stop you.
from praising the Lord.
for one thousand dollars we'll
give you the cure
i go into the kitchen to freshen
up my martini,
two olives this time.
i feel where i think my liver is.
it feels fine,
my stomach is a little upset
but, i think it's from the flounder
i had the other night.
