(I’ve not got it off pat),
But uncowed eschatology
Is less deterred for that.
So let’s unpack a verse
On another ruminant,
Though Alpaca be averse
To see such doom in cant.
If you peruse
What is Peru’s
(Four horsemen of Alpaca lips),
Death’s kiss you’ll ‘scape
If on you drape
God’s full Llama (quip equips).
If such all seem levity ‘cos
It’s heresy I recent wrote,
Look at Scripture’s Leviticus…
Jews ‘scaped as much with just a goat!
Moving swiftly on from the scatology of my last poem, the eschatology in this one came whimsically from reading Ephesians 6:11 as 'put on the full Llama of God'. It was only afterward I realised Revelation's 4 horseman of the apocalypse could serve as the Peruvian cousins of the Llama. Funnily enough, darkest Peru is quite a place to delve for biblical jokes. Some say the ancient Peruvians were God's original choice for a chosen people cos He want Jesus to come through the Inca-nation! Having done zebras and llamas, we'll move on to roe deer tomorrow methinks.
