Recently I came across a couple more parody verses for “Old Time Religion”:
We will pray to blue-skinned Rama,
After far too long a drama,
He at last killed old Ravana
And that’s good enough for me!
We will pray to Hanuman, a
Monkey whose strength is uncommon,
Cause he dines on curry ramen,
And that’s good enough for me!
Finally, here’s one I came up with for Unitarian Universalists — and as much as I dislike the abbreviation “UUs” (pronounced “you-youse,” which always sounds to me like someone from New York telling how to form the second person plural possessive), it’s fun to rhyme:
We will worship like the UUs
And believe whatever we choose
As through sermons gently we snooze,
And that’s good enough for me!
(And yes, this is my post for April Fool’s Day.)
