Mammon updating Moses

December 2, 2009
Issue 

Bless-ed be O reverential Economy
Append another clause to Deuteronomy
To wit, Mammon updating Moses
Verily thou needst shit to grow roses,
On garden spread warm manure
Draw forth the bloom pure.

All hail our ubiquitous Economy
Before whom we bow in all fealty,
Yes and God bless the free market
Sweetly swing low shopping basket
Consuming for to purchase us home —
Mammon saves, Mammon fertilises soul.
