Sunday Morning Mcgee

In a little Irish village
Just south of Dublin town
Lies a little Catholic church
With little houses scattered 'round
It was a bright cool Sunday morning
When the bells started ringing
And the people started coming 
As the choir started singing 

McGee put on his coat
His hat, his tie and vest
For every Sunday morning 
He was sure to look his best
Although wifey was away
He could still hear her saying
"No Pub today, My sunshine,
It's in church, You will be praying"

So reluctantly McGee strolled in
And found himself a pew
There He sat in utter silents 
Not sure of what to do
Then, no sooner the Mass began
There came a chilling roar
Gods immortal enemy 
Was standing at the door

Some people screamed
Some people cried
But they all ran from the church
Trampling one another
While McGee sat un-besmirched 
The Devil asked McGee
"Don't you want to scream for aid"
McGee replied " Not really, It's not like, that I'm afraid"

Then Satan asked McGee 
"Are you familiar with my name"
McGee replied " Yes indeed
And know all about your game"
"So why aren't you running now
With your heart all filled with fear"
" It's because, Dark one, I've been married
To your sister, thirty years

I was wondering how you were going to end it, Jerry. The punch line is a knockout blow. Made me laugh out loud. Great job, Jerry. Great to see you posting again:)
