Subject: Old Time Religion - Maharishi
From: Peter Fisher

I see in the DT database that there are already about 300 verses, and RG says hes about reached his limit, but here's another, from a neighbor of the Maharishi (remember him?)

If we worship Maharishi
And quit reading all that Nietzsche
Everything will be just peachy
And that's good enough for me.

From: MAG (inactive)

We won't worship old Jehover
'cause he likes to hold you over
Fire and brimstone in the stover
and that's way too sick for me

Subject: RE: old time religion - Paisley/Adams
From: paddy

MA - laughuing so hard i can hardly type. thanks. how 'bout these humble creations for whoever might follow irish things.:

We could pray with Ian Paisley,
but it never would be easy,
cause he makes my stomach queasy
He aint no good for me.

We could pray with Gerry Adams,
as he leads the good lord's minions,
and all those other fenians
it's good enough for me.

Now, how 'bout some words to rhyme with trimble.

We will pray to Father Zeus
Young ladies he'd seduce
As a Bull or as a Goose
And that's good enough for me

How bout:

We will fool around with Venus
She who loves a randy penis
And she'll take it intraveinous
And that's good enough for me!

Subject: RE: old time religion - Druidic trees
From: katlaughing

LMAOWROTF!!! Good ones, All! And, I thought this was going to be a discussion of paganism etc.!

We just love the Druidic trees
We don't have to get on our knees
Dancing naked, merry as can be
Is good enough for me!

Subject: RE: old time religion - beers
From: Allan C.

Be it Murphy's, Pabst or Fuller's
Hamm's or Guinness or Dos Equis,
Abbot Ale, Sam Smith's or Fosters,
It's good enough for me!

Carling's, Bass, Sam Adams, Red Hook,
Newcastle Brown Ale, Schlitz, or Tetly's,
Tanglefoot, Beck, Bud or Moosehead,
It's good enough for me!

Whether it's Pale Ale, Bock, or Porter,
Brown Ale, Stout, Pilsner or Lager
Whether draft, or cans or bottles,
If you're buyin', it's for me!

We will pray with Jim and Tammy
In our condo in Miami

And that's good enough for me.
