Westboro Baptist Church Honored

Westboro Baptist Church Honored

By Elton Camp

National Unity Today Society awarded a prize
For the greatest service in refuting public lies

“Westboro Baptist has pulled the veil away,
The cause of all mankind’s ills to betray.”

Or so that worthy Society has decreed
As it issued a trophy & wished godspeed

Engraved on it, “So Will It Now Endure”  
Meaning picketing funerals is the cure

The reverend, on the church altar placed
As his glowering congregation he faced

“This fine award will go very far
In showing the public what we are.”

“Amen, amen!” the flock did yell
“All but us are going right to hell.”
