False Pretences

Life is full of surprizes, we are not surprised at all;

to church on a sunny summer morn at Petertide, 

to be shocked that the great and good of the borough

were there for the annual mayor's service, all well and good

except expecting the annual service for that most obstreperous of fishers, 

Peter the coward turned faulty Prince of the Apostles - and his rival-friend  Paul.


What does it matter? Their purpose: to shock the world to save it - then as now.

Unessly ten surprizes gifted on new Years
Alot heard a poem amam poetic said are place

Heel and soil that feeling loveness sent
Correctly I'll surely spell going Home
Over Hell listen raedy or not here I stay with
Fine looks like precisely Me
Poetic stand picture both Arms my
Left then rightousness a Star contains
Astrology luminous statuary conventional
