Behold the cave
drenched in blood —
our last hope
the Holy Hand Grenade…
“And the Lord spake, saying, ‘First shalt thou take out the Holy
Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be
the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be
three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting
that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number
three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy
Holy Hand Grenade
of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff
it.’”
