Heavenly Messengers Come
Down to the Cities of the Plain
The possibility of knowing them
Intrigued the men of Sodom. (Angels came
To Sodom seldom.) Why did God condemn
These citizens to rained-from-heaven flame
And brimstone? Wouldn’t you have wanted to
Acquaint yourself with heavenly beauties
If two came down to neighbours next to you?
In fact you’d reckon that you had duties
To lovely strangers in your midst, to show
Them tourist highlights, local oddities,
And if you were the Amway local Joe
You’d want to show them your commodities.
..You’d knock upon Lot’s door frame in the hope
….OOf demonstrating uses of slick soap.
