The parson stopped, he now was weary,
From baptising thirty eight;
Next, a sinner eager, heavy
'Bout two fifty was his weight.
The parson pondered, he was tiny
Wondered if he had the grip,
To submerge him in the waters;
Could he lift him, would he slip.
On the banks all members waited
Silent, somber, smiling all;
Watching, for they knew this sinner
Had received that blessed call.
Then, a local joker shouted
'Preacher, let me tell you how;
Wade him in, just slow and gentle,
He can curtsy, hunker, bow'.
Was he heavy in sin or in weight? either way wading would save the preacher and the 'sinner' A well written poem
The sinner was prepared to repent, the hard way it seems, a brilliant write Sir, loved it.
A quite funny piece Joseph. Whatever works; there’s more than one way to fry an egg. Just get him in there. Hahaha. Very good.
