IN THE BEGINNING
In the beginning, there was a word; and the word was God. All else was darkness and void without form. So God created the sun and the moon and the stars, so that light may pierce the darkness. The earth, God divided between the land and the sea and these he filled with many assorted creatures.
The dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the seashore he called Royal Marines and he dressed them accordingly. The flighty creatures of the air he called Airy Fairies, and these he clothed in uniforms which were ruffled and foul. These creatures were not over-popular as their droppings fell on the earth below, but God forgave them because as he said “They knoweth not what they do”. The lower creatures of the sea, God called Skimmers, and with a twinkle in his eye, and a sense of humour that only he could have, God gave them big grey targets to go to sea on. He gave them many splendid uniforms to wear. He gave them wonderful and exotic places to visit. He gave them pen and paper so that they could write home every week, and he gave them make & mends at sea. He also gave them a laundry to keep their splendid uniforms clean. When you are a God, you tend to get carried away.
On the seventh day, as you know, God rested and on the eighth day at 0700hrs, God looked down upon the earth and God was not a happy person. So he thought about his labours and with his infinite wisdom, God created a divine creature, and this he called a submariner. And these submariners, whom God created in his own image, were to be of the deep, and to them he gave a white woolly jumper to keep them warm. He gave them black, steel messengers of death to roam the depths of the sea, waging war against the forces of Satan and evil. He gave them hotels to live in when they were weary of doing God’s will. He gave them subsistence so that they may entertain the ladies on nights ashore and impress the hell out of the creatures called Skimmers.
At the end of the eighth day, God looked down upon the earth and saw all was good, still God was hot happy, because in the course of his labours, he had forgotten one thing. He had not given himself a submariner’s white woolly jumper. He thought about it, and finally satisfied himself. Not just anybody can be a submariner.
Well, I like it!! :lol:
