Notes About The Poem

MANY THANKS TO MY 'PARTNER IN RHYME' NINA PARMENTER FOR MAKING ME GIGGLE SO MUCH DURING THE WRITING OF THIS POEM

The Knickerless Vicar - Contains Innuendo :- Collaboration With Nina Parmenter

For a man of the cloth, our dear vicar
is not very partial to clothes
He is almost allergic to trousers
and y-fronts get right up his nose.

Ev’ry Sunday as he climbs in the pulpit
(where the choir boys are sitting below)
His meat and two veg are seen swinging
And it’s proof that he is commando

The ladies who bake and do flowers
don’t know if to scream or to peek
but Olga the Organist’s smiling
and she’s practising eight days a week!

At this year’s summer fete it was breezy
and the wind, I’m afraid, took its toll
His cassock blew up to his waistline
as he served up the last sausage roll

I've heard when he goes on vacation
He suns himself on a nudist beach
and his wife applies his sun lotion
to stop his tush looking like a ripe peach

Caren Krutsinger March 17, 2020 at 3:40 PM What makes this even more hilarious to me is that a close relative told me about a man at her church that did the same thing, sat up front and "winked" at the ladies. His wife pretended not to notice. Jan Allison March 17, 2020 at 5:40 PM ha ha ha:-) that is funny Caren:-) hugs jan xx

M. L. Kiser March 16, 2020 at 8:44 PM I think knickers should be on his christmas list, at least some briefs. That no doubt, makes for an interesting sunday morning experience! Jan Allison March 17, 2020 at 2:53 PM ha ha ha:-) hugs Jan xx

Ralph Sergi March 16, 2020 at 3:12 PM He's dramatizing his sermon wth the genius of Adam (without the sun tan lotion. Very funny! Jan Allison March 17, 2020 at 2:52 PM thanks Ralph:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich March 15, 2020 at 1:55 PM GREAT job, you two. I really enjoyed this. Who wrote the line about the organist practicing 8 days a week? I liked many lines, but that was my favorite. Jan Allison March 17, 2020 at 2:51 PM It was Nina's line but my edit was to make it from 5 to 8 days for comedic effect!!!:-) hugs Jan xx
