Fire Will Come Down From Heaven
Fire Will Come Down From Heaven
By Elton Camp
The preacher had been irritated of late
Not enough came on the collection plate
So the Rev came up with a tricky scheme
Told the congregation of his scary dream
“The Lord said unless there’s more today
Then with lightning he is going to slay.”
The Rev was about say it would hit him,
But the outside darkened & looked grim
He hadn’t figured on a development like that
And wondered if God cared he was a lying rat
Big bolts of lightning flashed to the ground
At that, the Rev began to gulp and frown
“See old Miss Benchly sitting over there?
God said he’d kill her unless show you care.”
