 Re: Once Upon a Time Men




Tozsu said,

"However I could (if I wanted to) write a song that starts like this:
Ones upon a time there were some men who would rather watch the sports game and go to pubs than show up in church....
...and I could derive similar demise effect on the church with the same accuracy."

After reading this, and thinking about the "demise effect on the church", I was inspired to write yet another poem. This one is as equally true and accurate as the first.

I hope no man may be offended by it.

Here it is:


Once upon a time
In a land far away
Fathers took their families
To church each Sunday

After it was over
No one chose to stay
They all hurried to their homes
So the children could go out and play

They played for many hours
They just couldn't get enough
They convinced all of their fathers
To get involved in all this stuff

The fathers came to like it
So much so that they made plans
To do it every Sunday
And some became their fans

So now each Sunday morning
The wives of all these men
Rise early to read their Bibles
While their husbands sleep til ten

The children no longer listen
Or do what they are told
And all the father cares about
Is who won the Superbowl

It started out so innocent
No one could really see
What playing and not praying
Would make a father be

It's become a favorite pastime
Never to miss a game
But missing church each Sunday
No longer is a shame

The children now are grown up
Each have their families
They teach them evolution
How they used to be monkeys

Now if any father stumbles
Into the church's doors
In one hand he'll have a Bible
In the other a can of Coors

This is all now relative
Politically correct
To see how this all happened
I invite you to reflect

You say you don't believe it
I thought I heard you say
If this next line won't do it
I'll send you on your way

The preacher just informed us all
There will be no church next week
He's going to the football game
To call a preacher sneek

No one need be worried
All will be okay
We all believe in Jesus
And God loves you anyway

 Re:

Fantastic poem, sister! I agree this is a major problem as well. Oh God help us fear Him more than man and sound the alarm - warn the people when we see the sword coming!

Fantastic poem, sister!



Sorry, I didn't immediately realize who wrote the poem. My apologies, brother. Still, a hearty "amen!" to this one too!

 Re: great poem

This is very true, just wanted to share it again for those who may have missed it.
