Here's something for your amusement:

Manufactured Gods

Carl Sandburg

They put up big wooden gods.
Then they burned the big wooden gods
And put up brass gods and
Changing their minds suddenly
Knocked down the brass gods and put up
A dough-face god with gold ear-rings.
The poor mutts, the pathetic slant heads,
They didn't know a little tin god
Is as good as anything in the line of gods,
Nor how a little tin god answers prayer
And makes rain and brings luck
The same as a big wooden god or a brass
Or dough-face god with golden ear-rings.
"If God chose George Bus of all the people in the world, how good could God be?"
Bill Maher

Dough-fece? I certainly am amused!
I'm sure Carl would have been amused too.

Thanks for pointing out my goof! Must've been a Freudian slip!
I've edited it to read correctly (dough-face).
