The Perfect Recipe
Practically Dessert
God really outdid Himself creating you
I guess “normal” just wouldn’t suffice
Saying, “This time the ‘standard’ is not gonna do
In this one I’m adding more spice”
You’ve got humor, compassion, He doubled your love
Saying, “She’ll make a beautiful bride”
Ingredients mixed by His angels above
What was left He just poured it inside”
You’re painted in kindness, a humble-like hue
Then gifted a disarming smile
You’ve never been judging, it’s not what you do
You’re blessed with a wonderful style
Despite that you’re sexy it’s nothing you flaunt
I still feel the need to repent
All wrapped in a package, a torturous taunt
Then given a glorious scent
He topped you with sweetness, and gave you respect
A creation the heavens applaud
What else but “exquisite” can people expect
When you’re made in the kitchen of God

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
