A Preachy Preacher Preaches

A knock at the door... ( I don’t believe in doorbells) What appeared to be a man and his wife were standing off the steps on the lawn The man had a nervous, stern look on his face and his partner had her hands clasped together tightly at her waist; glancing back at the street as if she wanted to run away... “Good morning my friend, how are you doing?” (Not too good and I’m not your friend either) “I’m a friend to all people who need the Lord Do you mind if we come in and visit a while?” (Yes I mind and I don’t need YOUR Lord either Is that your wife with you and why is she nervous?) “She is a member of my church and it’s her first time” (Ahh, I understand now! She’s a virgin then?) “Well I-I don’t know...Yes, she IS a virgin sir!” (You said you didn’t know at first. You sure she is?) “Y-yes I am sure! Are you a Christian my friend?” (There you go again calling me a friend and yes I am) “Pardon me for saying this but you don’t seem to be” ('Judge not that ye be not judged’ How bout another?) W...('For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God') The lady was sweating now and wringing her hands... The Virgin backed away clumsily and the 'Preacher' followed... *Bible References: Matthew 7:1 Romans 3:23

Hi Tim, when you say you don't believe in doorbells are you reffering to their existence heeheehee! Sorry I could not avoid that silly joke. This is an excellent write, congratulations on your win.

Hello Tim, A very interesting narrative. Originally coming from the state of Kansas, your poem takes me back to the old Flim-Flam preachers there in the Bible Belt. I really enjoyed the build out of the narrative. Great Job!! Cheers, Gary
