Set In Stones

There is a boy called Rick
 who who took to hurling; with bricks'
He let loose with a low'un,
 It looked like it was throw'un
And knocked pastor down into the c'rick.'

The pastor fell backward right in'
He never, had learn't quite how to swim'
He sat on his behind, 
and thought wasThis a sign, 
that some heathen Had targeted him?

He attempted to climb up the bank 
Thinking I'd better try stopping this crank'
As he got to the top,
 a girt blooming rock'
Hit him straight in the chapter and verse 


Some money spilled out of that purse, 
Not too thrilled And now feeling much worse, 
He let out a prayer
Asking everyone there 
If there was a nearby; district nurse?
