A Preacher and a Teacher

A Preacher and a Teacher
Dr. James E. Martin
©May, 2013

The preacher preached with all his might
Sunday morning and Sunday night.
The teacher taught day after day
In her unique and confident, scholarly way.

If the preacher preached
Has the teacher teached?
Or if the teacher taught
Did the preacher praught?

Interesting thought in all of this,
Or have I something amazingly missed?
I guess the answer may never be found
With all the geniuses hanging around.
