Drummonds Bar

Drummond’s Bar began construction An expansion of their bar To increase their growing business But they hadn’t got too far When the local Baptist Church Tried to bar them from their goal With petitions and with prayers And I guess to save their soul Well the bar build kept on going - but When the grand opening came around Lightening struck the building And burnt it to the ground The church bragged smug and happy About the power of their prayers Till the bar owner sued the old church Said the fault was really theirs He said the congregation By direct or indirect means Was ultimately responsible By their prayers of such extremes The judge who read the complaint Said I’m not sure how I’ll rule But anyway you look at it It’s a philosophical whirlpool It seems we have a bar owner Who believes in prayers a lot And an entire church congregation That apparently does not Well I checked this out with Snoops And they said this Texas quarrel Was a tale of exaggeration Of its underlying moral Do you set aside your faith When faith seems inconvenient Or stand up for your beliefs And really, really mean it Mdailey 6/26/11
