Perhaps the final entry I make for this challenge. It has been a good run. See you next season. (no promises)


ANCESTRY, n. - ZEALOT, n.

ANCESTRY, n. Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great, probably both.

CIRCUMCISE, v. t. To send fanmail to God in the form of flesh from a newlyborn boy, telling Him a new child has arrived. As fit for an omniscient, omnipotent being, who couldn't possibly have known about it any other way. Supposedly it's cute. God knows what He does with that information.

HOMINIDAE, n. Apes. None more clever than the other. Designations are not species, but personality traits.
—
"Certainly better than the gorilla next door."
- Petty Shoo

TERRITORY, n. Land possessed by those detached enough to maintain an illusion of ownership.
—
It's no man's land
yet here we are
with supposed men
contesting it

ZEALOT, n. A catlike individual claiming postulation rights for a subject they possess all the delusions of.
—
O zealot of mine
the subject in not thine
I wish you well
now please go to hell
