Divinity's Pew
Divinity’s Pew
The truth stands in contrast
to only itself
Once mentioned eternal
when thought and then felt
It lives in the ether
past fortune or fame
Conscripted by conscience
no praise and no blame
The truth beyond reason
beyond lies or consent
The lucky among us
to follow its scent
Its trail leads to faith
divinity’s pew
Transforming the moment
— you first say I do

Picked From The Pew
By the time I met her,
I no longer cared what might occur.
Having grown weary of romance,
I was reluctant to take another chance.
Romantic encounters had left me uninterested.
That is, until that Sunday I was arrested;
Arrested and captured by a beauty in the pew.
There was something about her that was new.
I watched her more than just a

Church Pew Stories
Yesterday, I was talking to the church pews.
Asking them about the stories they hold
They told far and wide they heard thing.
That just can’t be told.
They told me the depths.
The truths that they hear.
The day that had to come
They say is almost here.
The church pews told me,
No matter what they say.
I have to carry on.
To

Pew Poo
It was an awful thing to do
Drop an SBD in the pew
Then cast a glance
As if by chance
That said “oh, God, was that you?”

Closer To Jesus
Closer to Jesus
David J Walker
I was wondering
if you were going
To wear your house to
Church today
And pray by chance to
Park your car in
One of the pews
Where parishioners pay their dues
For the privilege of sitting
Closer to Jesus
I was wondering if
Sunday dinner was better
Prepared by the white chefs
Of the country club
With

Ebony Tongue
though they sought the gentle verse
a wracking pain drew up their purse
as thoughtless sovereigns hissed their curse
the dollars drained; their feign- rehearsed
this tragic dismantling
ever-torn fabric seams
flowing a pious demand of the feed
groveling majesties
planted their effigy
cordially under the pew cushion seats
stating repeat
loving the myrrh
silent decree
ebony spurs

Pew
Bless me father for I have sinned
I went to church and then broke wind
Not sure of what to do
I sat in my own pew
Then prayed for the smell to rescind

Pepe Le Pew and Penelope Pussycat
Pepe Le Pew
Quest for love he would always pursue
But his over enthusiastic romantic way
Is rejected by a skunk look alike who keeps running away.
Penelope Pussycat
Smothered in kisses and squeezes she would always combat
A black cat with an accidental painted white stripe
Penelope knew she wasn't that type.

In His Image
In the religion
Of the pigeon
Possessing a feathered pinion
Stands as proof of the opinion
That the pigeon holds dominion
Over all creation
For in the Holy Word
Of this enlightened bird
It is the avian creed,
That not intelligence, but speed
Is the gift that God decreed
For this, His chosen nation.
So in their highest perches
That serve them as their churches
The bird world’s chosen

An Unholy Pew
A.I.’s coming my brothers and sisters.
In fact it’s so already here
So sit back and enjoy the ride while you can.
Without trepidation or fear.
Governmental mistrust, it divides us
Religion caused, terror is rife
The purest religions are those doomed to fail
Do we need such a crutch in our life
Media controlled mis-information
A plandemic brings folks to their knees
Their

Pepe Le Pew Amorous French Skunk
Merrie Melodies is coming on, and I am glued to the set
Hoping my favorite will be featured today, for I’ve placed a bet
Channeling my spirit guides, I hope to see Pepe Le Pew.
He is the best cartoon since the sixties, and it’s twenty and two.
This amorous French skunk, known as a polecat down in the

Lonely Pew
As I sit in the pew of lonely darkness
With my soul wondering I see a sparkle
A light from above carried by a dove
Falling into my heart this light from above
Food I have none both battered and beaten
With tear drops I hunger and haven't eaten
Lost among many I can only trust one
As the preacher approaches I
