Just made this up.

 

One day I was sweeping the floor

When a knock came along at my door

I put down my broom

And went to the front room

To see who’s interrupting my chore

 

This kid asked what I think of creation

I said creation of what, with frustration

He said of the earth

I chuckled with mirth

And asked who created god, with elation.

 

He looked at the pamphlets he brought

Not finding the answer he sought

He said that’s a great question

Thanks for the suggestion

I’ll come back here soon after I’m taught

 

The boy went to his wise mom and dad

To ask this great question he had

They said that question’s absurd

He couldn’t believe what he heard

And yet now he’s a much smarter lad.

I really can't wait for the day
When the theists just don't get their way
When arrives a new season
Enlightened with reason
And religion is hist'ry!  HOORAY!

The Pope's a Bavarian from Germany

For an acolyte that's good cause for worry

Pederasty he covers

For liturgical brothers

When exposed, just like rats they all scurry

As an atheist, I find it a bore
When the JW's knock at my door
With their misinformation
Poor argumentation
I say, "Don't come around any more!"

Believers say Jebus' the reason
That we have a Christmas season
But it's tilt of the Earth
Not some mythical birth
Which is why it's true - "Faith is No Reason!"

So the scansion isn't perfect ... so sue me!  :-P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [grin!]

Pat, that's great!  At least you didn't say......  what else rhymes with that?

There once was a god from Nantucket

And this may be going right in the bucket

But, omnipotent and fair

So why would he care

Who and where any person would suck it

atheist limericks on the friendly atheist....

although godless haiku also seems like a hoot.

When I get home I'll look in my archives. We had a discussion about this some time back on the Human_ism email list. In the meantime:

A Lutheran pastor named Herman

lost his faith in the midst of a sermon.

He tumbled from grace

with a smile on his face

and began quoting Nietzsche, in German.

A precocious young student from Kew

told her teacher "I'm loath to poo-poo

your attempts to appease us

with stories of Jesus

but somehow it doesn't ring true."

purty good
