Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

The Red-Faced Sunday School Teacher

The Red-Faced Sunday School Teacher

By Elton Camp

The Sunday school lesson she must teach
Jesus to Lazarus inside his tomb did reach

About the great love it did take 
From death his friend to awake

So to be sure to reach the childish heart
A question asked prior to the lesson start

“Who can tell what “resurrection” does mean?
A little girl to answer seemed to be very keen

“I’m not exactly sure, but I know one main thing.
If it lasts more than four hours, to a doc you bring.”

The teacher stammered and her face turned red
She was unable to reply to what the child said

From the room, she carefully slipped away
“As teacher I resign,” to the pastor she did say

Love, Kim Elton Camp April 17, 2014 at 10:21 PM They will say anything and repeat anything. The daughter of one of our friends once came out with a curse word at a religious meeting. The mother was horrified and embarrassed and demanded, "Where did you hear such a thing?" The reply of the child: "I heard you say it, Mother." I'm glad you enjoyed this little humor write. Elton
