(From God Went to Beauty School)
God Climbed a Mountain
And not just any mountain.
Mount Everest.
And you know why?
BECAUSE IT WAS THERE.
He was tired of hearing about it—
He decided just to
go do it.
And he did.
It was terrible.
It was awful.
He’d never been so cold.
He’d never been so tired.
He hated snow.
And it was like that
all the way
to the top.
Then at the top
He turned around
and His heart just broke.
Suddenly the whole world
was plain as day,
and still.
It was so still.
“Should’ve put everybody
on top of Mount Everest,”
God thought.
Nobody’d want to hit the guy next to him
on top of Mount Everest.
“Next time,” thought God.
Next time.
