Dear God

 

Do old dogs

have wrinkles

underneath their fur.

 

 

If tortoises had whiskers

would you

make them hinged.

 

 

Cats are smiling

aren’t they

when they purr,

 

 

and, if pigs do fly

I’m sure it’s you

who made them winged.

 

 

And is there

a heaven

where the dead can be.

 

 

Dear God

I hope you’re

not lying to me.
