Meditation On Tithing

What is God, a waiter?
10 percent. Thanks for the meal.
what on earth.

here you go, God.
the souffle was admirable.
maybe a little bit more.

Extra change under the placemat.
who am I
to question

that accounting.
it says in the Book, a tenth.

haven't they any imagination-

can't you think
what is appropriate on your own?
ten percent; My God,

to You who gave the whole.
I can't stomach it.
