Preachers Are a Cure for Insomnia
By Elton Camp
Most of them tend to drone on and on
Long after audience interest is gone
What they say all have heard before
And don’t want to hear it anymore
But custom demands that they pretend
To enjoy every word right to the end
A sleepy hubby a wife can’t abide
And rams her elbow into his side
But when a fellow is there all alone
Into a nap he far too easily is gone
If he happens to be a person of fame,
He’s caught on camera in his shame
Few of us haven’t done the same way
So “Tut, tut” we have no right to say
