No Pets Allah'd

"Nothing is more unclean in My sight
than the obsessive fastidiousness of the self-righteous,
nor more loathsome in My sight than their loathing piety."

So dogs are out, cats as well no doubt!
You cannot have a prayerful house
where prayers are answered – if pets run about!
You'd best keep timid and resigned, stay quiet as a mouse!

You may mistreat animals and ignore them,
sexually abuse them and abhor them,
you may slaughter them en masse at tradition's whim
to cleanse yourselves of supposed sins!

But neither own nor keep a pet,
not in your house, befriend no vet;
and for the sake of heaven and of paradise,
never ever invite one to prayer – they're worse than lice!

Piously hate all others who are not of yours,
you'll wind up hating some of yours as well;
Smile sweetly with dagger clenched, concealed of course –
while you in pet-free paradise dwell, we gladly reside in hell.

I ran with my dawg in the park, got arrested,
Iran, being Muslim, ran off with my pet – it's haram;
"In the Name of God, the Compassionate!" I protested,
(Ayatollahs know better than the Creator about Creation.)

"Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites,
you clean yourselves outwardly, but within
you're like open reeking sepulchres...
for not what goes into your mouths will contaminate you
but what comes forth from there!"
