Not after four.<br /><br />He, cloistered in his little cage,<br />The lambkins seek this moral sage,<br />Their childish sins to wash away.<br />Confess, my child, you think your gay?<br /><br />Or perhaps you touched down there<br />And know you're damned, your soul laid bare?<br />Now let me help. No. Dry those tears.<br />Your mother need not know your fears.<br /><br />The trap is sprung and in they fall.<br />We've fallen once. (No tale's too tall.)<br />We're sinners, see? So too I am.<br />Hung for a sheep with this next lamb.<br /><br />But, sins are washed away each time,<br />Quite resurrected, free of crime.<br />And was it not our Lord's great plea,<br />You'll suffer, kids, to come to me?Phil Rimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636429096511606079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717310773038718285.post-23647800305780399662009-11-20T14:42:25.013+00:002009-11-20T14:42:25.013+00:00To preach God's worst to his new flock,
