Charge of
the Nice Goddess
(As recited by in circle of the Craft of the Non-Icky)
Listen the words of the
Tasteful Mother, Who of old was called Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker,
Miss Manners, and by many other really nice names:
Whenever you have need
of anything, once in the month (but not *that* time of the month,
as that would be icky), and never with your mouth full, you shall
assemble in some tasteful place and adore My spirit, I who am Queen
of All Plastic Slipcovers. You shall not be icky in your rites,
and as a sign that you be not icky, you shall damn well keep your
clothes on.
Sing Barry Manilow songs,
dance real white, make non-funky music and non-sticky love, all
in My presence, for Mine is a nice new rug and I paid a bundle.
I am the soul of Tastefulness that gives neatness to the universe.
I am the Doily on the Great Armchair of Life, the Barcolounger of
Respectability. I give knowledge of the Proprieties Eternal, and
beyond death I give you John Tesh tickets and My recipe for egg
salad. For behold, I am the Mother of all things, and they should
all please wipe their feet.
I call upon your soul
to arise and come to Me--and are you really going to wear that??
Let My worship be in the heart that is...well...*nice*, for behold,
all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals except for anything
involving icky bodily fluids. Let there be restraint and taste,
neatness and niceness, all good things and no messy opinions among
you.
And you who seek to know
Me, know that your seeking will avail you naught until you know
this mystery: red wine goes with meat and white goes with fish.
For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that
which is restrained till you FINALLY GET RICH ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE
TO CARE.
