I played God today And it was fun! I made animals that men had never seen So they would stop and scratch their heads Instead of scowling. I made words that men had never heard So they would stop and stare at me Instead of running. And I made love that laughed So men would giggle like children Instead of sighing. Tomorrow, perhaps, I won't be GodAnd you will know it Because you won't see any three-headed cats Or bushes with bells on.. I wish I could always play GodSo that lonely men could laugh! . James Kavanaugh
