THE GOOD WORD ACCORDING TO · THE ULTRA-HARRIER
VINNIE
Harry falls on his face
Chapter 64
All right.
2I will go now,
3And leave the stage to this plaster idol with his painted sacrificial wounds,
4But before I go,
5I ask you to consider why I have not been punished for my blasphemy?
6Have I not stood here for most of an hour defying your god of dpain an guilt and sin?
7And has he shown his displeasure through even the smallest sign,
8Or blasted me from life with a ethunderbolt?
9If he were right,
10And I were wrong,
11fThen it is I who would deserve crucifixion.
12But which of us is stiff and lifeless on a cross?
13And which is full of good gchampagne and a couple of pounds of truly great hors d’oeuvres?
14I bid you adieu.
15And then Harry stepped out of the pulpit and fell on his face in the aisle.
