Converted

There was an old sailor who liked to swear.
And his rot-gut rum he was happy to share.
A cleric aimed to make him repent
But saw the sailor as wholly content.
Now the two are buddies bereft of a prayer.

A supportive Jan Allison message is among the best of all possible communications, taking second place only to winning the lottery (and that would depend on the size of the jackpot). Thank you, Jan.
