THE PREACHER
For Dad
He speaks
Of the second coming
And exhorts them
To believe in the first,
And not to take
The Webster's as gospel
For he teaches:
Death is life,
Life is death;
And everything short of bulls-eye
Is not bad aim,
But a lie;
That they are
Running out of time,
So they have to
Get into line
And run the race
To the finish,
To the end of their lives,
Amen.

Is not bad aim,
But a lie;
That they are
Running out of time,
So they have to
Get into line
And run the race
To the finish,
To the end of their lives,
Amen.

Splendid! One has come to expect nothing else from you :)
Yes Nisha,echo SPECKLED_BAND! This was great.
Brilliant - even I could read it, so the meaning came out with each word pronounced! I know, now, what someone meant when your talent was alluded to! :-)
