Pull Pit Perspective

The churches are filling with dust
Alms boxes are turning to rust
Congregations are sad
Priests and preachers are mad
WEEKS pass without citing a bust!

I love your clever limericks, Rico. We have to have a sense of humor about the state of the world right or we'd all go crazy. xx Rhonda

Yes I miss my church, and am longing for normalcy. Though I think its a long way from that. Here they haven't re opened the beaches yet, I pray for a slow recover but a sure one, Stay healthy dear friend xo

The Pull Pit is necessary to look down on cleavage, most especially for the shorter ministers of the Gospel. Aloha! Rico
