Yawn

The Preacher preached on and on
His sermon was boring and long
He stood in repose
With his eyes tightly closed
Without realizing his congregation had gone

Shirley, Funny but not inaccurate poem. Like 'Yawn', Southern Baptists tend to go on and on. So I switched to Sanka. -Richard

Thank you, for your kind comment. I think the rest of that congregation had Sanka in mind as they left the church..... (A wake up call) Take care... Shirley
