Nearing the Chalice With Malice
Time for Holy Communion and chalice
Not one for Methuselah-old malice;
You ought to have dumped it at church entrance
To sought redemption give the fullest chance;
Holy Communion with spiritual police
Watches the terribly upset Alice,
Who is right now doing an asked Lord’s Dance
With a rock of a heart and concealed lance.
We all can guess your lame consolation,
Times without number man’s desolation:
“Cord God’s superabundant mercies
He makes sure He applies to all cases.”
This is nearing the chalice with malice
By one sure malice can withstand chalice.
