Thoughts and Quotes of a Curious Mind

Lord God I have never spoken to you, But now I want to say how do you do, You see God they told me you don't exist, And like a fool I believed all this, Last night from a shell-hole I saw your sky, I figured right then they had told me a lie, Had I taken time to see the things you made, I'd have known they weren't calling a spade a spade, I wonder God if you'll take my hand, Somehow I fell that you'll understand, Funny I had to come to this hellish place, Before I had time to see your face, Well I guess there isn't much more to say, But I'm sure glad God that I met you today, I guess zero hour will soon be here, But I'm not afraid since I know you're near, The signal - Well God I'll have to go, I like you lots I want you to know, Look how this would be a horrible fight, Who knows I may come to your house tonight, Though I wasn't friendly to you before, I wonder God if you'd wait at your door, Look I'm crying I'm shedding tears...

First dentistry was painless; Then bicycles were chainless And carriages were horseless And many laws, enforceless. Next, cookery was fireless, Telegraphy was wireless, Cigars were nicotineless And coffee, caffeineless. Soon oranges were seedless, The putting green was weedless, The college boy hatless, The proper diet, fatless, Now motor roads are dustless, The latest steel is rustless, Our tennis courts are sodless, Our new religions, godless. - Arthur Guiterman
