Why No Wine

Be sure to put on your sense of humor caps
and think about this one for a long while.

Why No Wine

Had eaten a hamburger I did embellish;
With cucumber, catsup and some relish
Then somewhere found my mind in a fog
Forgot about buying bun with a hot dog.

Drink cup of coffee, thought that I might
And a donut which in always do delight
Back home eventually had slowly returned
To see what else my wife had badly burned.

My body quickly became bare to the bone
And I have started to cook on my very own
Size of my blundering body is now fat and big
Now have to walk around while wearing a wig.


How much I love her, she will never know
I often sang in old song that told her so
Can you believe we were divorced by the Pope
And with a wild nun he would make me elope.

My firmness is now flabby and I am flustered
Catholics at communions never serve any custard
Priest rode away on erotic horse who was equine
But behind left host after taking all of the wine.

Which is why unpleased parishioners have 
been served only a host without any wine.
A priest is always a perfect host for a party.

Not only do Catholic priests serve a host
They also even do it from coast to coast.

I'm not Catholic, so this one went over my head. I got lost in all the different directions this poem took me. And don't have the time to sort it all out. But blessings to you anyway and take care.

Thanks for explaining, Jim. Wow! you say she was 105! Oh to be so lucky to live that long! Or, maybe not, it all depends on how healthy in mind and body we are. But to die on her birthday. That's sad and unusual. However, good too, I guess, because she got to celebrate her birthday with Jesus! My condolences to your neighbor. Blessings, Darlene

I am an Episcopalian and understood most of it and was poking fun at myself at being confused at times in their service. Wrote this after returning from a Catholic Funeral service for my neighbor's 105 year old mother who just died on her birthday. Jim Horn
