Sin G

My neighbour was out on her porch
Reciting the Bible by torch
When up flew a moth
As big as a Goth
Baptism by fire is just, "scorch" . . . .

The fire that attracted that moth? He veered to see what God had wroth. Said one of his mateys, "God sent him to hades. It’s Biblical, man! What a sloth!"
