  Lent

User Rating:

5.2 /10
(6 votes)



  Lent, is meant to be spent fasting,
In rememberance of the Lord,
Lasting six weeks without a decent meal,
Six weeks in the desert,
Without any dinner, without any desert,
And without any tart, but he saved on rent,
and before he went he ate plenty of pancakes.
