Minister and the Sinister

I cannot find The Excellent 
In what is Largely Repellent:
If one swam a cold river, 
One was liable to shiver…

I won`t heed Lord`s Minister, 
Who dwells on The Sinister:
Often about Mortuary 
Rather than Clean Sanctuary: 
Neglected Nude Sinner`s Corpse 
Which on trodden bare floor drops!

Your Priests who watch White Clerics 
Have never heard them drop clicks,
During Sermon try a scowl 
Or before its end dog`s growl;
Your Evangelical Schools
Have been breaking The Rules

Forget the crowd they do pull
Church to capacity full:
Time they threw in the towel;
Some can do well trowel…
