Naked Coffee Shock

Naked Coffee Shock So. It’s early Sunday morning in DC Visiting my locale Mickey D’s I’m not too bright about anything Simply wanting a cup of Joe Before I go to church The help as usual is friendly and polite (Some say they’re not but that’s alright) 2 ugly men walked in behind me Clearly they were there to sin Both had no clothes on so things went south They were erect (and I don’t mean posture or the building of a house) I averted my eyes at the appropriate moment These are hard times and getting harder Not wanting to be party to this depravity and crime I tried to leave but…. Never mind… “Reach for the sky!” The nude men shouted Then struck up a conversation (I thought this was salacious and unkind) So. I geared up my stronger serious mind Became sophisticated and refined I told them they are in the wrong place and time Informed them the church is close to here If they were so inclined I’d take them there Repentance is a goodly and Godly thing “Ridiculous!” They cried They wanted more than a house of God It was the apple pies they so desired I told them they looked silly and kinda dumb Reminded them they had no guns (obviously, they were naked) There was no way to fake it The only thing they threatened were some smiles So. The manager told them there are no pies And sizing up the situation, continued “Can’t either of you read?” The sign is clearly posted “Shoes are required” You are not properly attired So kindly leave
