Miracle Shmiracle

Miracles are Dyson Spheres

Surrounding the possible, but severe enough

Wishes made of rainbows and cream puff

And reasonable doubts disappear

Faith is a thing convenient

So we can make passable

The things that aren't possible

And pray to unlikely ingredients

You can change water into wine

Just add dimethyl dicarbonate

And calcium carbonate

And sugar and yeast in Canaan time

Diseases are defeatable

So, you can cure leprosy

With multidrug therapy

Just one of many treatable

Drogo and Gerard Majella and Pio

Bilocated to make their cases

For beatification on a sainthood basis

But now recants, our Galileo

We couldn't abide eccentricism

And were told to consider levitation

Instead of relating effect and causation

And never refute heliocentrism

Malodorous was ol' Lazarus

Both alive and when, dead, he fell

So by the smell, you couldn't tell

Whether he lived or was cadaverous

You don't need miracle-schmiracles

No, to be close to your God

You just need to plod

In kindness and embrace the empirical
