Salvation or Salivation

[reasonrhymer]

This is supposed to be some senseless serious humor please don't be offended.

Salvation or Salivation



Did Adam eat the apple
that fell on Newton’s head?
Did Freud lick the rib
when his wife was dead?

Did Christ ascend to heaven,
through the pearly gates?
Was Darwin really Charlie
in the Planet Of The Apes?

Is man just a mammal,
like in Pavlov’s head,
Is there “Salivations”
in the Good Book's stead.

Does God like some humor,
does he eat soul food?
Would he think I’m funny
Or, he think me rude?

Reference material (note some of it may be made up by the author).



Adam: From the Bible, Adam ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of the
"knowledge" of good and evil." The Apple is referred by some
as that fruit.

Newton: To many he was the one who discovered gravity by an apple
falling upon his head. He sort of discovered some knowledge
when the apple hit him.

Freud: Austrian neurologist who originated psychoanalysis. He taught
that the id is that part of the mind in which are situated the
instinctual sexual drives which require satisfaction.

"Lick the rib" used here to depict Freud’s obsession with sex. The rib
depicting Eve (Adam‘s rib) a woman’s body, you guess
the lick part.

Darwin: Founder of the Man from ape theory.

Charlie: Short for Charlton Heston who starred in Planet Of The Apes.
He actually found the "Planet Of The Apes" in the movie.

Pavlov: Investigated the gastric function of dogs by externalizing a
salivary gland so he could collect, measure and analyze the
saliva and what response it had to food under different
conditions. He noticed that the dogs tended to salivate before
food coated with chili powder was actually delivered to
their mouths, and set out to investigate this "psychic
secretion." He sort of came up with that man was like the
animals-- a stimulus response machine.

God: The big dude who calls "all" the shots or does he?

Soul food: People who go to heaven.

Salvation or Salivation? A question whether man is just a salivating creature or does he come from God and go to heaven or do both theories fall short of the Glory of God?

Humor has got to be part of the plan.  I quite appreciated each of your quizzical questions.... and ........

Right now I think the Big Guy is looking down and slapping you on the back with "good one, George... I like your style"

... a very enjoyable read .... funny .... but also proposes much on which to think ..............

Thanks Jeanne,

I had fun writing this one and laughed myself when writing it.

It started with thinking over this idea or thought that it would be a crime to explore "knowledge of good and evil." I had a tough time working that out in me noggin.

Once I had the first verse, I just loved by the way, I couldn't stop giggling. Then I went into the creation vs evolution and other thinkers that have molded some of the most ingrained in the mind theories of man to date. I just tried to make my look at these theories funny and palatable for people to look at with some humor.

Hello!  I'm very new here, call me Groks.  I stumbled on your poem today and laughed hard!  I love a poem that reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously, and yes, I really, really think God has a sense of humor.
