Bench Stench

The Vicar sniffed searching for the culprit
As it rose it overtook the pulpit
Stained glass windows wept
As the brimstone crept
The choir hummed so as not to gulp it

LOL…really funny! God is not immune to our embarrassments. Humor can be found fuming in the Holy Ghost Choir. Be blessed, Jihn!
