In Memory of Richard Edward Rhoades



Of late I've been Sarcastic, and downright really Rude
It's time to be more serious, and a change of Mood
-
Why am I so down, on Richard Edward Rhoades?
It's because he is a FARCE! Him and all his Stinking Toads
-
Toads like Dale Koller, Toads like Kenny Brandt
"According to the scriptures"*, this they both supplant
-
They claim to preach the "gospel", is that really so?
Can they site THE Scriptures? And sound doctrine bestow?
-
They sure as Hell CAN NOT! And they NEVER will
Just like Dusty Rhoades, your soul they seek to Kill
