Westboro Baptist Church Member At a Funeral

Westboro Baptist Church Member At A Funeral By Elton Camp A sign he held and tee shirt wore Same as he went to funerals before Mourners gathered around the grave To him, some outraged looks gave While they were dressed all in black He had “God Hates You” front & back The poster he lifted these words did tell In large, red print it read, “Rot In Hell” He reacted with the greatest of surprise At the looks he saw in the mourner’s eyes “How you folks feel, I really don’t care To funerals, this is what I always wear.” One pointed out the name on the headstone That showed the identify of the one gone When a gander the man did take He realized his horrible mistake Fred Phelps was the dead man’s name Westboro Church Founder was the claim He took his sign and slipped away He’d use it again some other day But more carefully he’d investigate Just who it is he intends to berate
