Okay, peeps, this could be fun! Let's have a go at finishing this short poem (and remember to keep it Theological...I'm talking to all eleven of you out there who read this blog) :
Tulips are Red
Violets are Blue...
Here is my contribution to get things started:
Tulips are Red
Violets are Blue
Your will is as free
As a gnu in a zoo.
...now it's your turn...
Tulips are red
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue
Grace is free
It's not about you
Tulips are red,
ReplyDeleteDaisies are yellow.
Heaven is mine
Cuz I'm a good fellow.
Wow, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteYou got eleven people reading your blog? How'd you do that in just a couple weeks? I've been blogging for a year and I only have six readers.
A tulip is red
ReplyDeleteAnd so's a carnation
If I don't watch out
I'll lose my salvation.
(I know, mine aren't theologically sound; they're satirical potshots at Arminianism. But I think they're funny anyway. Hope you don't mind.)
Tulips are Red
ReplyDeleteViolets are Blue
In sin I was dead
In Christ was made new.
Niiiice...
ReplyDeleteRalph, I love your "Arminian" humor. But, I need to let you know that a few of my friends (who lack a point or two) have hired a Christian hit-man (they use pies instead of bullets)to track you down.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the "heads up," I'll be looking out for them.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to contribute a couple more poems that are on point (or five points, for that matter) just for balance.
Oh, and tell your friends I have bullets.
A tulip is red
ReplyDeleteAnd so is a rose.
Heaven is home
To those whom God chose.
Some tulips are red
ReplyDeleteSome tulips are blue
But whatever the color
The TULIP is true
Tulips are red
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue
Some brag, "I found it!"
I say, "He found you!"
Doug...those last two should be placed in the Ogden Nash Hall of Fame. (if there was one)

ReplyDeleteAnd if there isn't one, then there should be! Nash was a genius of the first order! We need a Calvinist Nash to drown out the gnashing teeth of the Open Theism crowd whenever God claims to know the future.
ReplyDeleteOops, I had to delete the last comment due to a typographical error. I'll try to get it right this time.
ReplyDeleteTulips are pretty
Until they turn brown.
If God doesn't save you,
Then you're going down.
(I like Doug's contributions to this string. He's the winner)
Tulips are planted
ReplyDeleteby God, not by elves;
Daisies, however,
Must plant themselves.
OK, so I don't know how elves ever got in here except that it rhymed with "themselves."
Tulips are tulips.
ReplyDeleteThey grow up from seeds.
They've always been tulips,
They never were weeds.
Hey, that's cool, Ralph! It's better theology than botany, however, as tulips usually grow from bulbs rather than seeds.
ReplyDeleteI must say, Eddie, your site is much more fun than any other I've been to!
My mistake. I knew they grew from bulbs. BUT they were tulip bulbs.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, this is a fun site.
Tulips are red
ReplyDeleteEmergents are gray
God is subjective
So believe what you may
Tulips are red
ReplyDeleteArminians they choose
If your faith isn't enough
Your salvation you'll lose
Tulips are red
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue
Doesn't matter at all
Whatever is true for you!
(Post-modern version)
*Putting on my bullet-proof body suit*
ReplyDeleteCommies are red
Democrats are blue
If God hadn't saved me
Then I'd be blue, too.
God's word is true.
ReplyDeleteRob Bell is yellow.
The Bible's tough words
Keep him from being mellow.
Tulips are blue
ReplyDeleteDon't feel disrepected
You're going to Hell
'Cos you're not elected!
