My Sunday Best

MY SUNDAY BEST No swearing at the priest on my way to church Or, it will be 3 Hail Mary’s, and the Devil’s curse No damnations; of God, within my poetic verse Or, that will be another 3 Hail Mary’s, far worse No negativity; only things pleasing to converse Or it'll cost me a penny into the church’s purse Holy crap No wonder I find Sunday so perverse Indiana Shaw . . . : / "But; as it's only Saturday, there's hope for me yet" . . . ; )

I do, Gershon, all flamin' 3 of them, I did try Bible study at the Methodist church, but, I was kicked out after the third time, I think it was after I called the Rev. Deacon a narcissist, she still glowers at me when we pass each other on the street, ha, ha, ha . . . ; )

Sunday is the day of Our Lord. I only missed church once on Sunday, I was on work in a communist country. Those days are over.
