Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is your flight
attendant speaking. Please fasten your seat belts. The
Captain has asked me to remind you, there is no
smoking permitted in the lavatories. And to tell you,
we are going down!
Down!
Down!
Our fiery crash landing into the mountain range below us
should be relatively painless. The temperature at the site
our destination is a brisk sixty-nine degrees below zero.
Should you require special assistance disembarking this
plane, please do not hesitate to call upon your flight attendant.
Beverages and a continental breakfast will be served
promptly at 7:47 am at Heaven's gate located in the main
concourse; compliments of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Everyone is welcome to participate in this glorious meal
with the exception of Reverend Fredrick Phelps of
the Hillsboro Baptist Community Church, Topeka, Kansas,
sitting in row two, seat four. He is going to hell.
Hell!
Hell!
Because Freddy, www dot god hates you dot com.
Thank you for flying our friendly skies.
And have a nice day.

I'm not quite sure either where this is going. But, it;s good. But, there is one big problem.
GOD, doesn't hate anyone.
I know there's a site out there called:
www.God Hates Fags.com
by a peacher.
I couldn't believe it.
I sure hope that is removed.
He's not a preacher at all, doing things like that.
There's no where in the bible, that states that comment. It does say, man not with man and women not with women.
Or that he hates anyone.
Sorry, I kinda got away from the subject a little. |
| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 08/26/06 at 04:20 AM Fred Phelps has taken the message of love and compassion found in the Christian New Testament and twisted it into an unrecognizable hateful monstrosity. I hope he one day finds peace.
Incidently, your use of humor when dealing with such serious material is the perfect counter-balance to Fred. |
| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 11/30/06 at 05:17 PM huh. I live in Topeka and am oh so very familiar with his monstrosities. Your piece rings how I think the rest of the country feels for the most part. Very funny and equally as tragic.

| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 06/20/07 at 12:01 PM Loved it- don't know why, but I think it's absolutely brilliant! The tone is perfect. |
| Posted by Allison Smith on 07/26/09 at 01:52 AM Indeed! An excellent write. Favourite! |
| Posted by Maria Francesca on 01/07/10 at 04:02 PM love the surreal feel and the way it mood-swings its way from serene to manic to serene again and on to its conclusion - love this! |
| Posted by Jason Moskalyk on 06/15/10 at 06:55 PM Very interesting. I live in the great white north and even I'VE heard of westboro's (phelps) picketing. Good poem, definitely caught me off guard. That man will say whatever it takes to get attention. |
| Posted by Rob Littler on 11/26/14 at 09:44 AM ...is there a meal served on this flight, I wasn't listening...did someone mention breakfast? I was on my phone...you using that pillow? Thanks, Man! |
