PADM #13 Sermonizing

Say the words or what you will
even from the pulpit, it can be a
bitter pill to swallow- if that's still
allowed, but whatever you do keep
speaking, unashamed, unbowed.
Just remember it's you who is above
the church crowd.

Tell a metaphor or analogy- or the like
one with a good moral, some good psych.
Stick with the script, mention the gospel verse
remember to take your time just as you rehearsed
if someone checks their watch, remind yourself
it could be worse.

Make your stories funny but also true
throw in an appropriate joke or two
reach out to as many of them as you can
keep telling yourself all is going according
to plan, maybe you get a laugh or so, holy man.

If someone falls asleep, drop your voice down deep
then yell out a Glory Hallelujah! and then weep.
If another is married to their new cellphone
announce repentance with a high pitched tone
Then wave your arms around in the air
do a two step, then an amen before
heading down the stair!
