When Mr. Michaels came downstairs
he found his missus on her knees
worshipping a can of paint.
"Darling!" said he,
"have you gone mad?"
"Why no!" said she,
"it's just that Jane from down the road
worships a wooden cross each day.
Paint is more useful than toys, so I thought:
why not send my praises to
an object which has helped me through?
This humble can of eggshell white
has made our lounge a lovely sight!"

That may be so, but we don't have Popeye's over here

.......and whilst I have your attention, do you think that goldfish should be allowed to marry in church?
A moot point made......loving it. Oh shit, that's Saint mac, I believe. I believe. I believe.
Best,
