Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive


1. God's proofreader
The soft machine the holy ghost inhabits
Brings order to His chaos

2. A man who builds his biceps
Not for flexing
But moving something heavy

3. One with a painter's eye
A musician's ear
A carpenter's hand
and Satan's silver tongue

4. A cobbler who makes
Someone else's shoes
For you to walk a mile in

5. An exorcist

6. An exhibitionist

7. The one-eyed king
of Kingdom Come
