“God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh”–Voltaire
Philosophy,
like the proverbial weasel,
goes POP,
as God, sporting a Groucho Marx get-up
(you know, the glasses, the eyebrows, the cigar)
delivers gags and zingers,
turning the entire world
into a vaudeville circuit
as the audience files out
the in door.
