A Sermon With No End
The Sermon With No End
By Elton Camp
The preacher’s sermon started out okay
Most were listening to what he had to say
Some of it seemed to be sensible enough
But mixed up with some very weird stuff
The Bible he would mention now & then
And speak out strongly against any sin
Then his political opinions he would add
And tell the party that he though was bad
The congregation he proceeded to berate
For not enough on the collection plate
A few times it was “In conclusion” he said
But he continued with his monotone instead
When the watches finally all reached noon
They thought he would close it very soon
At 12:15 he still continued with his rant
To stay awake many found they can’t
Flock heads nodded all over the place
Wives punched ribs to stop the disgrace
If it’s not over ‘til the fat lady does sing
Many wished upon the stage she’d spring
