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
