Waking Up With a Smile

 
I called God on the private number
I keep in my desk drawer
Kermit the Frog came on the line
"God is busy doing God things,
call another time."

Hah! I didn't believe him
never did like that goggle-eyed freak
I took another hit of Trazodone
leaned back in my chair
waiting for the magic

Don't know how long I was out
woke up with the phone ringing loud
like St. Mary, the Virgin Cathedral bells
thinking God was calling me back
I let the damn thing ring

I smiled
knowing how pissed God would be
I was happy
and just think I used to wake up ill-tempered
with a boner that was killing me
