Sudden Death

Mary O'Sullivan Right after Mass Stepped out of the church And as she walked passed Father McGee, couldn't help see That Mary was shedding a tear Approaching Mary With the kindest of hearts He wasn't quiet sure, Where, he should start The silents was broke, when McGee finally spoke "What, is the problem, My Dear" "Father forgive me But late last night My husband died sudden, Right there in my sight" McGee stood in shock, and barely could talk Until he could work past the fear "I know it's hard But please do your best Where there any last words Or final request" "Yes, 'PUT DOWN THAT GUN', while starting to run But I'm not sure I heard him that clear"

I really appreciate this type of humor, Jerry. I think I'll call it Jerrying. I love the twist at the end, my friend. Very well crafted, my friend.
