Say, did you hear the latest scoop?
No need to worry, it’s all just poop.
The news shovels that crap all day,
Peddling whatever they want to say.
Sensationalism always beats out facts,
Just watch the wolves grind their axe.
There’s an agenda, it’s plain to see,
Beware! They’ll leave you in misery.
Make a profit, and increase the view,
It does not matter if it’s not true.
Raking their victims through the mud,
They’re not happy till they draw blood.
Champions of justice? No, I think not,
What they publish is so full of rot.
So if you read it, please sift it well,
Don’t let them get you under their spell.
I thought we needed a day between Saturday and Sunday So I worked on it … Hmmph … Errrm … Umph. It took a bit of pushing and pulling on those letters, but I think that I found found the perfect unified solution of Saturday and Sunday. Here ya go:
SAUNTERDAY.
You can just relax & saunter around doing nothing. So how did I do?
That old Satan is just a speed demon.
He wants you in Hell as fast as he can,
He will throw every single trick at you,
So you won’t think about the Son of Man.
Yes, alcohol, women, gay sex and drugs,
Are at the top of his sneaky, sinful list,
And gambling, hard rock music and porn,
Will just leave you in a deceptive mist.
Everything that will please your flesh,
He’s more than happy to throw your way,
But when your whole sad life is through,
You will be his property on Judgment Day.
Faithfulness is just doing what you do,
And doing it reliably every single day,
It’s demonstrating your trustworthiness,
Regardless of whatever comes your way.
Faithfulness is being obedient to God,
And doing your very best in your tasks,
It’s denying yourself and your pleasures,
And just doing whatever the Lord asks.
Faithfulness also means being full of faith,
And knowing that God is trustworthy too,
It is confidence that despite your trials,
God will always reliably see you through.
