Yanno if I were Catholic,
And went to a confession,
I'd spend years of "Hail Marys"
And never learn a lesson.

If I were a Baptist,
That may not be so bad?
Then everyone would pray for me,
"God we gotta save Toerag!"

They'd say, "Toe come to revival,
We're having it right here,
I'd say,"Are ya having a fellowship supper?
Want me to bring the beer?"

After that I'd try the Lutherans,
I hear they're known to drink a few,
Do yanno if they play bingo?
I wonder what else they do?

What religion's Jimmy Swaggert?
He seems to do quite well.
He'a a rich and famous preacher,
And "saves" the whores all for himself?

As soon as you mentioned the Baptists, I thought about all that grape juice at communion and knew that wasn't for Toe! LOL

As for Jimmy and his ilk, they'd stink up any sanctuary... you've got FAR too much class to follow those footsteps. *G*

You know what kind of day it's been... thanks for having the reward of your words waiting. *G* I enjoyed!!

Toe hi there Thank goodness mum had Paul’s computer she could fall back on, I don’t know how she would have managed without it. Maybe now she will treat it a little better when it returns to her desk.

Wonderful writing I’m so glad I got the opportunity to reply to you, you are one of my favourite writers and I always enjoy your writing, and this is exceptional it certainly brings a smile.

Love and warm stuff
As always
