Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby comes to us from the lyrics of a song
                 yet she is ever so real,
 We've seen people like her all along,
  Eleanor knows how loneliness feels

 Lonely notes echo through the pews
  As violins render a wistful tune
 Eleanor  kneels in prayer
 From the pulpit a sermon ensues

 Eleanor Rigby made the church her home
  She found her hallelujahs there,
 A solitary figure where sinners roam
 As an empty sermon she comes to hear

 Violins render a sad refrain
 As the choir sings Amazing Grace
 Another lonely soul kneels in prayer,
 Eleanor Rigby had gone home...
