Mike:
"God has his reasons, I know,
I just wish that He would slow
down his retribution against mankind
for fucking up his grand design."

"What grand design?"

My comment was in reference to the above lines in Mike's poem.  Nothing to do 
with car designs.  God's design is how I took it.  Clarification from Mike 
please.

        The Grand Design was made by Chevrolet.  It was replaced by the Mini 
Mouse subcompact, which runs on bird seed.  They're running a contest for a 
marketing jingle.  I was thinking, See the U.S.A. in your Mini Mouse 
subcompact.  Well, yeah, it is kind of small.  See Rhode Island in your Mini 
Mouse subcompact.

          I like the poem.  It made me laugh.  I hope you get more heat so you 
can get more work.

          What grand design?

            WEATHERING THE WEATHER

            It's uncomfortably cool in Memphis,
            Life has almost stopped.
            The sun's turned suddenly gentle
            and service call have dropped, 
            business is down
            way down,
            way, way down.
            No AC's are breaking under strain.
            Can you feel my pain?

            Our bodies struggle to maintain
            ninety-eight point six degrees
            when it's only eighty-five outside.
            God has his reasons, I know,
            I just wish that He would slow
            down his retribution against mankind
            for fucking up his grand design.
