Short Methodist Poems

There's a little white Methodist church in town,
That acts like a beacon to all those around.
They do weekly community dinners,

Some of the ladies operate a little thrift store, 
Helping others like I have never seen before.
They visit the sick and make sure they have what they need,
Living for Christ and doing good deeds....

Wales is Grape
 [Enter the 'Wales' Poetry Contest]
[Done to the Methodist Hymn, "How Great Thou Art"] 

Wales to me is ...
Oh he was born, in Glastonbury, England
fermentation of grape juice he hath made
no alcohol shall be used for communion.
Thomas Welch, Methodist minister forbade

Then sings my soul, for peanuts and jelly
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, despite his dentistry 
England is not Wales but not apart.
