On Being A Reverend Poem by Bill Grace

I only use the title on the most starchy of occasions
Or when desperate to convey some semblance of propriety,
Or talking long distance with a bad connection or scared.
Hollywood does not like us
You can not count the films
Where we play fools.
This is easy to understand seeing
Almost no one ever likes their competition.
We both strive for the secret hearts of folks
With a reverend's success almost never showing up as a statistic.
