CHURCH BELLS
They didn’t know it when they bought
their house - that church bells came
with it - on the street behind their street.
Bong …. Bong ….
Bong …. Bong ….
They heard them every morning at 6.
They heard them some evenings at 6.
They rarely heard them at 12 noon.
Bong …. Bong ….
Bong …. Bong ….
After 6 months they cursed them.
After 1 year they said, when asked,
“Wow! Did we make a mistake?"
Bong …. Bong ….
Bong …. Bong ….
In the 7th year, they found themselves saying,
“We found ourselves no longer atheists. We
lucked out: our church is just around the corner.”
Bong …. Bong ….
Bong …. Bong ….
