He Got a Dressing Down

A naturist vicar from Bude Was working and caught preaching nude Though he wore his dog collar The Archbishop did holler ‘Your sermon was terribly rude’ The Archbishop he wore a fixed frown and gave him a stern dressing down ... When you stand in the pulpit you should wear your full kit - though your body’s a great shade of brown! 11/20/18

Thanks Connie, my aunt and uncle both wrote witty poems including limericks so I guess I was destined to write with humour:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan: I'm going to mention this to our pastor. It might just be what the church needs to get our numbers back up a bit. :o) Our man is slightly older than this fellow and would probably appeal to an older audience. They may be better givers anyway. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the "turkey" soup. Have a Happy. oldbuck

LOL I see the archbishop tries to be stern, but can't help but by impressed! Love it, Jan! You are in your element when you write humor. Hope you are doing well. (It's okay to dip into the package and pull something out from time to time. Hope you enjoy the contents!) Hugs, Carolyn
