If God is not really a man why
Should
Heaven be a place instead, say,
Of
being a gigantic bird? According
To
the learned Dr. J. Edward Wright
Some
Egyptians thought this plausible.
Others,
or the same ones later in the day,
Opted
for a great cow or a pleasant woman
Named
Nut. Fond though I am of birds
And
notwithstanding the great respect
I
have for cows, I think I'll vote for Nut
(If
there's to be an election and I can vote)
Perhaps
Heaven changes and folk in the suburbs
Never
know if they'll see a shining city
Or a
cow or a bird on the horizon
Or
Nut looking worried and wondering
Why
it's been so long since they've called.
