Poem: Kolob ('Tis a Silly Place)

Kolob (‘Tis a Silly Place)

If you could go a
block past Kolob,
and hang a right where
Abraham points,
then drive on past the
giant billboard
for the Best Western
just outside the
Celestial Kingdom—
the one that has
make-your-own waffles
and scrambled eggs—
then keep on past the
Telestial
Super 8 Motel
with HBO,
do you think that you
could ever find
the point of this song?
Methinks you shan’t.
