Godproof Hat (Limerick) by Dovina

Oh, for a hand on my cranial hair In place of god’s that isn’t there To protect from theistic wrath and such Provide a gentle protective touch Perhaps a godlike Buddhistic affair I used to think God was very large cat With teeth in my neck like I were a rat Then he kicked me outside Where I hollered and cried Now I wear a cat-skin hat

Well done limerick. I think the Buddhiistic choice is a bit of a confusion, to me at least, not speculating you are speaking of Christianity at all due to the low caps, but I still don't know where it came from.
I loved the second stanza due to your raw imagery, but I have to say (and I am fully aware you are you might very well be more wise than I in this poetic world, but...) I don't think this well done poem should be composed as a limerick. Free verse. Limericks are for the jolly's. That is not the tone I got from this, just my opinion.

Overall, very impressive. Powerful.
