A Good Christian

A Good Christian

By Elton Camp

Note:  This is about a churchy, hypocritical woman talking
on the phone to another woman.  She is slandering a 
third member of their church.

I couldn’t believe that dress she wore
Anybody would think she’s a whore
Even for her, it was a big surprise
The hem was halfway up her thighs

Her neckline was a daring as could go
It surely shows that her morals are low
And the pearl necklace she picked out
Those gems were paste, there’s no doubt

Her ring with a diamond that’s so large
Is either a phony or she got it on charge
Wanda’s fancy watch showed “Rolex,”
But surely she changed it from “Timex”

And those hose were tinted a dark blue
That’s what a loose woman would do
Those shoe heels were six inches tall
And red isn’t the right shoe color at all

Also, her breasts are the largest you see
Another Dolly Parton she’s trying to be
A plastic surgeon must’ve helped her out
Those things are silicone I’ve little doubt

If she should die, to hell she’ll depart
But yet I still love her, bless her heart
I’ll see you at the church on Sunday
But don’t tell Wanda anything I say

Gwendolen, Thanks so much for your comment. I made me realize that I had not made clear that this poem is about a hypocritical, churchy woman talking on the phone to another woman and slandering a third member of their group. Thanks a lot, Elton

Oh wow. How is anyone able to focus on worship with seduction so prevalent. Can't u have some of the women in your church counsel her on her attire? Way too much of this goin on and girls in tight jeans...might as well stay home and watch church on tv!
