TSL, 

Prompt 16 June 16  Is God great? 

Is God great?

...................................

...................................

I see your problem 

I’m not an expert but 

You could do with one

..................................

Of course In the days of yore

It was easier,

 Oracles were bountiful 

You might have wished to consult 

The Sphinx to have an answer

To your prurient desire

To know the truth

...............................

No, no, no, no, 

I’m mistaken there

I got it wrong, it happens sometimes 

The Sphinx asked a question

You had to answer it

If not, you were but an item on the menu

.............................................

As I simply don’t have one clue

How to answer such a query

I am left to wonder 

Would I have been entrée ou dessert?

Not being of note

I wouldn’t have been a main

That’s certain

I haven’t met the Sphinx

So I guess I’ll never know 

Which sauce I would be served with

Vinaigrette or béchamel?

A word of warning though

 About your higher quest

Oracles were known to lead astray!
