Yahweh’s Butt

It’s said that Moses once saw Yahweh’s butt,
making him incapable of sex with
anyone with no equally fine old ass-
and such a person’s truly hard to find.

In truth, most people have ungodly butts-
surely you would not contest that, had you
basis for some comparison, which you don’t.
Only Moses sees our ugly side.

Ugliness follows from our expectations of beautiful
Spring-like weather after climate change has
caused devastation to our understanding of suitable
and non-hibernal weather, even in
the season that we know as Spring and love
even more than we love our God’s buttocks.
