Premium Member Woman in Red

Woman in red with your gorgeous peacock hat
You entice me in many ways, you are all that.
We don’t usually dress this well at our church.
Your finery has given our deacons' heads a lurch.

Woman in red with your fat curls and pretty hair
Please do not be annoyed if most of us stare
We do not see people dressed up as fine as you
Especially those who sit in the very first pew.

Red Hot Tar

Grandma told it well.
Some missionaries
Visited her dad –
He was one deacon.
Everyone listened.

He let them teach.
All about God
And the iron rod
Deacons complained

Threatened him
Their mob came
Red -hot tar  --

Kids learned
Dad’s strength 

Stands!

One Outrageous Story!
I remember Grandma telling me 
about her dad, my great-grandfather.
back in the early 1900s
