If your kitchen’s got ghosts,
Turning your eggs into toasts:
Whom do you call?
Demonic Doodlebug!
Oh Oh Oh yeah! He’ll climb down
The ghostly stair!
He’ll catch ‘em ghosts,
Get ‘em under control,
So they restore the eggs they stole!
Author's Notes:
"Demonic Doodlebug" was inspired by the movie: "Ghostbusters" ...A whimsical piece.
...More to follow.

More Author's Notes:
Take these poems below with a grain of salt (or not)
inspired by the hymns: "Amazing Grace" and "Just As I Am".
My zeal has faded since then. However, I have kept the faith.
These two were written during my "Magic Christian" period...

UNEMPLOYED ZOMBIE FOR THE LORD
Yes, and our love shall last forever. WE shall be as the wheat, not like the chaff. Our love shall endure beyond time, space, and all worlds. The Creator shall bless and keep us and shine down upon us and warm our souls like the sun. “ Y abrazando dos vientos,/ Y al viento se arrojo a Jesus…And embracing the fresh wind,/ And with the wind did ride to Jesus.”
And so my folks did…!
For the Lord is merciful and his mercy is everlasting and His truth endures from generation to generation. And who will wear the crown of glory? Those who overcome shall wear the crown of glory. For the Lord has many mansions and he went before us so that before all time we will have a place prepared for us. His house has many mansions and at this moment we will dwell in Paradise together. Behold , all have an Advocate with the Parent God—Jesus Christ, the righteous, and He is the propitiation for our sins.
For all are sinners and stained and yet, if we repent, our sins shall be washed from us with Holy Water and we shall be without stain.
The Lord God said, “I am the alpha and the omega, and those that are dead, so shall they live…, and I will wipe all the darkness from their eyes and there shall be no more sorrow, pain, nor hatred. And there shall be a new heaven and a new earth. And the former shall be passed away and there shall be no more sea …” From Revelations... Jesus says: "Have no fear, for I have overcome the world." We shall overcome. "For when two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them." says the Lord.
All praise and glory be with the Lord forever. May all creation glorify the Lord. For God created the world and the heavens and all that is in it and God pronounced: It is Good.
And by God’s grace, may all worthy souls have a room in one of God’s seven Heavens!

EMPLOYED BY THE LORD, Unemployed Zombie, Part 2.
GREAT GOD, ruler of all the universes, hear the prayer of your poor servant and devotee who wishes to see the way of all life. Beginning from the font of the water of life, Lord, you guided our poor souls into the way of enlightenment and fulfillment. I welcome the beginning of a new life in your grace and as you see fit.
I renounce the evils of the flesh and will use all in moderation—or in abstinence, if needed. I am a good zombie for God. I was once dead sin and now I am alive with the Holy Spirit who has called me to minister to the lost of this earth. It is not “the found” who need to be ministered to. It is also “the lost”. For this purpose I am now “employed” as a “zombie” for the Lord. All praise be to God. Any good I will ever do will be in God’s service from now on.
ANYONE CAN MINISTER TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FOUND. LOST PEOPLE REQUIRE A PATIENCE THAT ONLY COMES FROM BEING MADE RIGHT WITH GRACE FROM THE LORD OF HOSTS . I pray for strength to continue my ministry to anyone who would listen. I try to encourage the Lost to find themselves by serving others daily and relying on the grace of God.
Aren’t we the supposed crown of creation on this particular world? Aren’t we fortunate to live in America the beautiful? Isn’t it a rainbow country and a rainbow world looked after by the Angels of God and protected from the demons of Satan and death? We, if we overcome, shall inherit a place in one of God’s seven heavens.
God counts upon us to get the message. To gain gracefully the perfect words and deeds necessary to become as good as we can and repent of our sins daily. Thusly, I am employed by the Lord and only by the Lord., who truly butters my bread of life and gives me water and wine that I should never thirst again.
Thing is, the regular Joe and Josephine don’t always see their sins. Sin is guilt come home to roost like a parrot, coining a phrase, clawing out your eyes and ears and tearing at the heart of your heart and the brain of your brain. If you feel guilty and don’t do anything about your so-called guilt, it eats at you like a cancer in your mind. Sin is the brain cancer of the soul. In order to overcome, you must accept your limitations and confess and ask God to be forgiven.
God is gracious. He will forgive 490 times. You don’t want to be one of those who committed 491 of the same sins. After we repent, God helps us clean up our mind and our actions.
All we have to do is ask the Savior to come in. No more spiritual hunger and thirst. For those things are over with. You will not gain one iota by holding on to the guilt of sin. You will die a thousand deaths. So the Lord said "Repent". 
Only God’s grace can really ever save you and God gives you plenty of roads to choose from in order to fulfill your spiritual quest. We don’t all get there by the same prayer or by the same road.
However, the same God, who knows our heart and loves us can see us through those dark hours before the dawn of our conversion. So hear this poor sinner and read these words. I am saved by the blood of the Lamb, The Savior, Christ, our Lord. Who is , was, and ever shall be GREAT.

Thanks so much for reading these pieces... I was hoping more would look
