NINE-THIRTY SERVICE

The church-going member got nervous,

He missed the nine thirty service…

He’d overslept

And hadn’t kept,

Track of Saturday–mind impervious!

–

First Sunday, this schedule,

He doubts the pews were full…

But he agrees

He accompanies

The singing when there’s no guitar girl!

–

Planning special effort,

An earlier bedtime most definite…

For blessings  sublime

He ll get there on time,

His passages cleared of expectorant!

A DOG-TIRED DOWNER

Diabetics take a chance,

Playing too hard at the dance…

He ate a bunch

Too much at lunch,

He’s troubled…you see at a glance.

–

He stayed up too late last night,

Refused a morning nap to feel right…

Countenance fell

And didn’t feel well,

Determining to work  through his plight.

–

At a job he readily  smiles,

He greets with several styles…

Getting through

Easier to do,

Folks have liked him there a long while!
