A BIRD ON ROLLER SKATES

Stephen Paul Miller

Baba is a bird on roller skates.
No one knows how fast Baba is.
He's a fireman who has no time
To wait around for a fire so
He just yells fire, and leaves.

Baba has us over for dinner
And staying in His hotel.
Baba is a tiger carrying your suitcase.

God would be boring if He wasn't Baba.

Five men were walking down the street
When a comet hit. Baba is a comet.
Baba is an act of God and maybe
Even the insurance against it.

Baba is the most beautiful animal in the world
Baba is a reindeer.

Baba is the funniest animal in the world.
Baba is a pig who knows how to tell a joke.
Baba is a proud duck.
Baba is a man named Mr. Pigg.

Baba is every video game there is,
Including the first ping pong ones.

Baba is a dog with a sweater on.
And Baba is the fat lady whose house
He visits. And Baba say to Baba,
"Smile -- don't worry about anything, aren't you warm?"

Baba is a lion with a hula hoop it can't fit into.
Baba is a light bulb you wear on your coat like a flower.

Baba wasn't a philosopher but if
This book must have philosophy it can say

God alone exists,
This world is like a shadow or
We live in the mirror God is looking into.

Meher Baba is God. He
      is God's way of
      saying Hello to us.

Baba was the first person to say hello
                  to God.
         God and Baba, Baba and
                God are the same.

      He stands on the
             other side of the
             wall and says

    Let my shadow be
               your umbrella.

   Letting into His love
             is quite a favor.
Baba loves you so much He's

     The sun under your umbrella.
