Father Mckenzie's Secret

It is said, that Eleanor Rigby died in a church... And was buried along with her name That's because, Father McKenzie got his hands dirty At the church, late one night, when nobody came As the father was darning his socks at night Eleanor had come in and she sat on a pew Then she whispered softly in the father's ear "Father, the devil had sent me...to you" He never seen her face before... She must have been one of those lonely people So he locked the doors and grabbed her hand And he took her to the dungeon in his steeple He kept her there until she died Twenty five years she was enslaved No one had ever heard of her...never But on a tombstone "Eleanor Rigby" was engraved Eleanor Rigby Who Was She Poetry Contest Sponsor: Jerry T.
