The Fry Day Lenten Fish
Lenten Fry day is a nice day for fish
Witch was Peter’s holiest wish
They came from all around
When they heard that faith full sound
Into the net they swam without worry or a frown
During this biblical turf war battle
In the desert without any cattle
Peter made a nice dime
Using a fishing pole and a good line
This was the almighty’s will
Giving Peter this type of skill
Using bait and rod
The underwater cuisine was a message from God
Back on land
In the region filled with heat and sand
The tension continued to worsen
And Peter still made a fishing fortune
It was the Romans who were threaten
Thinking this small group of gypsies were out to get them
Success for those who thought they were blessed
Might have been the reason the Romans decided to go through with the arrest.
As we celebrate lent
Without repent that only breeds individuals to resent
Let us remember those few who stood tall
When the Romans out of control egos made the deadly call
Making our pioneer leaders to state our Messiah took the fall
Due to the Romans power play law
Every Friday during this spiritual time
When you gather with the need to dine
Make a sacrifice of that tenderloin that has a price
And enjoy the seafood
That was God’s instrument and tool
Saturday hour will come
And it will be all right to grill the steak rare or well done
But if you take one day to say no to the meat
Then allow Saint Pete to offer the treat
That delectable T Bone spending Saturday Night on your dish
Will be as wonderful as that Lenten Fry day fish
