Reverend Mosley


Last time I was there
I remember hell fire broke out
while half the congregation
was coppin' zzzzs
even Gurty, at 'er organ
sported a tripple chin
face down in prayer
Reverend Mosley figured
Clara an' Bell
lookin' fat an' sassy
fanned stale air
gabbin'
an' primpin' a bit
Reverend Mosley
preached a fine sermon
'bout families supportin'
eachother
said th' Church is family
toward sermon's end
piety rose
ta pass th' plate
women-folk forkin' their men
ta put a little somethin' in
a widow-lady, sittin' alone
on society's good graces
dropped the fattest envelope
Reverend Mosley said closin' prayer
shook our hands out th' door
and thanked the widow-lady
walkin' toward his caddy.
