142. God and I

I shall dine with God.
God has made
All the necessary arrangements.
Therefore
This evening I shall go
To visit God and play with Him.
I am sure He will enjoy
My snow-white company.

I shall dine with man.
But alas, so far
No arrangements have been made.
And yet
I expect his express arrival.
Once he comes,
He becomes all mine.
