Worldly Man of God

A huge room not denied luxury, The rejected in it: Misery Of fine glass up to the bookshelf: If one was close to it saw oneself: The weight of a thousand Christian Books And at what the smart owner looks; Glasses for whisky but no whisky: To have whisky displayed risky: "One can't defend in a voice husky What surely makes the keeper frisky". His callers would sit in a cushion Owner of the room lives for true fashion: Man can serve Lord God and some passions And this not prompt long quizzing sessions... The clean-shaven in a clean cassock He had vowed he would never forsake.
