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!

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 11/21/2018 7:21:00 PM The Limerick form was made for you Jan! You always excel at coming up with the best rhymes for them!

Old Buck Date: 11/21/2018 8:27:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 11/22/2018 1:15:00 PM lol Old Buck I can imagine the reaction if the poem was true lol:-) hugs Jan xx
