Baptists Baptists

Baptists, Baptists, everywhere
In the cellar, on the stairs
On my elbows, up my nose
In the dryer, on my clothes

Methodists in my back yard
Rubbing each other with lard
Eating grubs and drinking ale
Fifty-three percent of them are male

Catholics in the back shed
Tumbling, tumbling, though they're dead
Even the least misdirected
Probabably won't be resurrected

Islamists up in the roof
Say that they do not need proof
Allah is their benefactor
He has an enormous tractor

Orthodox Jews in the hall
Weep and wail at every wall
When I said 'it's only plaster'
They just wailed louder and faster

Atheists in the back room
Said 'Why not just accept your doom'?
Then they added 'there's no God'
I said 'that seems plausible, but odd'

Buddhists, Buddhists in the kitchen
Quoted Alex Solzhenitsyn
Then went on about Nirvana
While I made chile con carne
