AMONG THE NEWER SAINTS



As you know, when angels peer into your cave
Booming "Awake! God, in His Wisdom,
Has made you a saint! Go! Glorify Him
And manifest His Love for His Creation!"
It is no use pointing out you're no Christian
Are, in fact, an animal -- a brown bear, say.
As a saint, I draw on God's infinite power
To heal the sick, restore the dead (on occasion),
Do the odd card trick; I've learned to juggle
There are no written instructions.
This, since animals began performing miracles,
Has made life unnecessarily difficult.
Three cats, though, and an elephant
Say they are preparing a manual.
