If it looks like worship,
and
it sounds like worship
and
it feels like worship,
and
[it bows and scrapes like worship,
and
it kisses statue toes like worship,
and
it kowtow's like worship,
and
it fawns and caresses like worship,
and
it idolizingly clings with a death grip like worship,]
.
it's NOT fruit salad.

.

INDEED!
That's a keeper!

If it looks like worship, etc., etc.

These comments remind of that song in Oklahoma! -- "Everything's up to Date in Kansas City." Do you recall the line, "They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high"? You're looking at a seven-story building (our veneration of Mary) and -- since you apparently have no concept of a building higher (your own "worship" I guess being no higher than seven stories) -- call it a skyscraper!

BTW, what happened to your new teeth you were so touchingly proud of? Too painful to wear? So sad, but maybe something can be done . . . ;-)
