Big Butter Jesus Burns

First thing they constructed was the “Solid Rock Church”,

I saw it built in stages as I commuted to work

They built a massive structure out of particle board

Then they glued on foe stone panels and said ”praise the Lord.”

It wasn’t good enough to build fake stone walls

Then they built a Jesus statue, 60 feet tall.

They made him out of yellow fiber glass on a metal frame,

Called him “King of Kings”, though that’s not the name

That most folks called him.

They called him “Touchdown Jesus” cause of his hands in the air

Or “Big Butter Jesus” cause of his creamy yellow skin and hair

He Towered over motorists on the interstate

Till a bolt of lightening sealed his fate.

I think it’s appropriate , and somewhat cliché

That he burned to the ground just before Father’s Day.

The preacher and his wife say he’ll be built back again

At great expense to their church going friends

Get a clue from the world’s largest graven image,

before you restart this celestial scrimmage.

Even the lawyers deemed it an act of God.

That Touchdown Jesus became a lightening rod.
