Dog Gone It

Finns dog just died And a loyal friend was he I picked two shovels up And passed one to McGee It's body in a box Was carried just by Finn As we slowly made the walk Where the funeral would begin As we made it to the church yard Father Shamus met us there As he looked inside the box, he said "You can't bury THAT in here" Finn looked so heart brokin' And McGee began to cry So I took it on me self to ask Where might we ,let him lie Father Shamus said, "There are Baptist down the road I'm not sure of their believes but, it's OK I've been told "And Father", Finn replied "Do you'd think that they would mind I'd like to donate thousands For this gesture, that's so kind "BEJEEZUS !" Said The Father "Are you all that bloody thick Why didn't you first tell me Your dog was a .......Catholic"

hahaha, What a hoot. Is this written from what you remember of a joke online? or did you come up with this all on your own. In any event, it was great to read.

Very funny, Jerry. Those rich Catholic dogs are truly among the few. I once went to a Catholic church with a priest by the name of Father O'Riely and he had a great sense of humor. Sounds like a story he might have told. Great fun, my friend..... Robert.
