Ah, to Live in
                Sin! 
                by Albert Russo 
                Hey, did you notice
                something about the word Ham-sin? Do I
                have to remind you that Jews and Muslims consider
                that to eat ham is a sin? And therefore God
                punishes the would-be offenders with a hellish
                wind that blows from the Sahara, which then hops
                over to Egypt and the Sinai, before it finally
                hits these parts.  
                Like I said before, in
                these here biblical lands there are so many dos
                and donts that you are a sinner even
                before you are born, the worst four-letter word
                being SINS, yes in plural, on account of all the
                stations of your afterlife - in case you are
                Christian - that can start in limbo, if you die
                without being baptised, then comes purgatory, if
                your sins on earth werent so serious, like
                throwing a stray cat in a dustbin, without
                killing it, like that English mum who mistook a
                flea-bitten pussy for some dirty plush toy. And
                then comes the devils may-care kingdom,
                which all the fanatics of this planet promise you
                will go to, on account of all them dos and
                donts, which you pretend you keep
                confusing.  
                Poor New Yorkers, poor Las
                Vegans, who are supposed to live in SIN cities.
                And yeah, I love both places, sin or no sin!
                Either God had an upset stomach or a terrible
                fight with his wife, or was it with his concubine,
                or with his mistress, when he let folks build
                these cities? Coz you think God had no one by his
                side? And gorgeous-looking Jesus, he didnt
                have a companion you think? Hey I never said he
                was gay, he might have been ... What? Blasphemy?
                ... bla bla bla yourself!  
                Jeezette, what these monks
                have us believe is such a load of bullshit - they
                probably have descended themselves from the
                branch of Middle-Eastern monkeys -, telling us
                that you can love your soulmate only if you wish
                to marry him and so Fork Nick Kate, and
                the same old stories all over again.  
                Long live ole Madonna full
                of profanity, and spastic Lady Gaga, and
                disheveled Britney Spears, and hunky dory Ricky
                Martin who came out, admitting he was gay gay gay,
                and the late Freddy Mercury who rubbed his thing
                in front of all and sundry, and Michael Jackson
                who made the same shameless gestures, only in his
                case I think he looked much more handsome before
                he went to them plastic surgeons who transformed
                him into E.T.s brother or was it his sister-in-law,
                Im not sure which. Then theres that
                famous French DJ David Guetta and his wife who
                attract the BOPs (body-fulla-odor people), who
                dance all night long till the wee wee hours of
                the morning, without changing clothes or washing
                themselves, and probably peeing in their pants as
                they thrust their legs every which way, like bees
                around a honeycomb.  
                What would we do without
                these fabulous talents and their divine music,
                fer chrisssake!
