To the Deacon:

If it took 55 years and a Promise Keepers Convention
for an ounce of respect,
we don't want it.

Reject not your frumpy grey wife
exchanged for the memory of what she was-
what you wish you still were.

Judge not your promiscuous, stoned daughter
who sins more frequently now
listening to endless sermons.

If you love the Bible so much,
massage it.

Yes, David watched Bathsheba bathing;
Bathsheba was not
his daughter.

-Trista Hendren
