peace be with you

one wife

one wanted me to join

her church.

so i did,

sort of

but then they wanted

me to

make pancakes

on saturday

morning

for the men's prayer

group.

but i had my usual

basketball

game

on those mornings,

so i never

showed up.

it went downhill from

there.

i was shunned.

almost

burned at the stake.

but they gave me

a second chance,

by telling me i had

to help wash

cars

in the church parking lot

on sunday

afternoons,

but again, i didn't show

up.

that was my designated

nap time.

from then on i figured

what's the point.

and no longer

went.

waving from bed

on sunday mornings,

at the ex wife 

dolled herself off to go

and pray for me.
