Gotta love this Judge!

In Florida, an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holy days.

He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,”Case dismissed!”

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, “Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays..”

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, “But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.”

The lawyer said, “Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.”

The judge said, “The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’ Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned!”

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!

A Cat's Life

Feline grace
with sculpted face
aloof to one and all.

Slanted eyes
contented sighs
curled up in my front hall.

Fur like silk
laps up her milk
as if it were God's nectar.

Paws unfurl
as catnip whirls
her high; a heady spectre.

Chasing mice
is kind of nice
a huntress, brave and strong.

Bows her head
above the dead
meowing victory song.

On the sill
she poses, still,
a statue of such beauty.

Sees a fly
come flitting by
attacks, for it's her duty.

No cares or woes
my kitty knows
what living is about.

Carefree days
and selfish ways...
a purr-fect life, no doubt.

Of An Irish Night Long Ago

Hear it, that so soft whisper
like the wind in the hair of her
the woman you still dream of, even now
Her cascades of titan joy falling somehow
to shade her face with love’s mystery
through which you ached to see

Was she Elven magic or not
a mortal, or of some eternal lot
she was, and that was enough for me
Her eyes danced with the light you see
part mischief, and love, and time
as complex as any mortal’s rhyme
