Between Teacher and Preacher

Do we still judge fine
A drawing of line
Between a preacher
And a class teacher?
Teachers now God’s Priests:
Gospels clearing mists;
A lot of Saint Paul
Hatred for King Saul…
Preachers Grammar Teach
Good Spelling we breach;
In Pulpits spell “Peach”
And try voicing “Pitch”
Our classroom teacher,
The roadside preacher
Do same advice
Condemning same vice
“Eating more than thrice
“During fast some rice”
But Vice is Sinner’s 
And we have kid Tina’s…

Also their warning
Sound like one mourning
Preachers can face chalk
For Teachers just talk;
The real stuff long died,
The left gap quite wide!

Good morning! You are right. It is often hard to tell a preacher and a teacher apart, since they do a lot of the same things.
