to verse he did his wit set
Though later a Bishop of Oxford
perhaps with poetics he became bored

Mirror Call

They say at the Bishop's estate
Was butter and bread on a plate
In the blink of an eye
It became apple pie
And that's how the Bishop gained weight . . . .

Hymn

The spire of our church caught on fire
So the Bishop sang with the choir
When out of the mire
A voice would enquire,
"Who on earth is that two-faced liar?"

Foreign Emotions

i felt my skin crawl
and a foreign emotion
rise up in me, fury
at this man staring at me
with vapid, glazed eyes
and flogging his private bishop
in his 8x8 concrete room.

Pope derives from the Greek "pappas" (father)
 Originally, this title was applied to bishops
Reserve the title exclusively to the Bishop of Rome,
The Supreme Pontiff

There was a bishop whose sermons were boring  
Seven hours long made members begin snoring.  
The bishop took offense
But he had no defense.
Busted bladders had warped all the flooring.

A Tiny Doorway

A tiny doorway 
of the forehead is the anxiety and depression 
of a woman writer and bishop.
One day this doorway fell 
to touch the mouth
of the woman.
It relieve the woman
from care and suffering.

Bishop's Anoyance

The bishop said it was such a disgrace
That the minister's horse lacked much pace,
   He remonstrated it was a cardinal sin
    When you put the church's money in
  And it finishes last in a six furlong race.

Should Be Solution Horn Haiku

should be solution
to republican pollution
their dissolution

they hesitated
was not premeditated
highly debated

while I pet my cat

A Craze To Give God Praise

A Craze To Give God Praise

Am currently reading Crazy Christians
by Bishop Michael B. Curry.

What we currently have is a craze;
Worship God and give Him praise;
With each fraction, 
Of our action,
We have completed in many ways.

Jesse Lasky met Boris Spasky
                      Musket musk-catty spider husky
                   Lasky's knight cooked Spasky's rook
                      Spasky's queen is spider's spook
