TALE OF THE WAYWARD REV-E-REND

Okay

This is how I will begin
Doing my daily thing
Reading poetry and
Making new lyrical
Friends

When all of a sudden
In the right corner of my eye
This is what I view

I see you
And it is I
You are trying to befriend

I am shocked and
Somewhat put out

A BISHOP IS TRYING TO
GIVE A SHOUT OUT

I cannot believe what
I am seeing

Got his collar on
In the main pic
How is he BP’ing

Now I don’t want to
Be disrespectful
So I ignore his hail

THIS ATTEMPT ALSO FAILED

My WAYWARD REV-A-REND

He leaves a message saying
He would still like to be my friend

I stop
And begin to give voice to suspicion

Why is a man in your position
Looking for love on the internet

You are a “man of God” a different
Type with a different of set of rules and stature to match
Do not even have a good nomenclature, that’s a fact
THE BISHOP AVERY

Oh have no fear little child
I am not one that is buck wild
And being a freak is beneath
Me, these are his words
He spoke them as clear as can
Be,
But,
If I should find a lady such
As yourself and love could
Bloom what would be wrong
That I found you in this way

So I say
You are telling me among
Your flock there
Are no spiritual women
I am not trying to mock
But you are on the internet

Sometimes what you see is
Not what you get and a
“SPIRTUAL MAN” such as yourself
Must be careful and take precautions
You have souls to save
And lives to change
A WORDLYWOMAN she
May try to rearrange
This very important mission
She may try to
Put you into submission
And in
Conclusion to this most awkward conversation

I am married and I am not
In a way to date or accept
Applications, I do not search

I do not respond to IM’S
So

I thought this would be the end

Of my wayward REV-E-REND

Oh no, as I patrolled LL for new liquor
To taste

Who do you think popped up in my face
Should have had my pop-up blocker on alert

My wayward REV-E-REND

With his BISHOP AVERY COLLAR
And shirt on
Trying to ask me what is going on

Did I not tell him I was married
And strange IM’S I do not engage

A man of truth
That does not recognize
What he teaches

I am going to pick his mind
Though and see if what he
Preaches is just as blind

As he

My wayward REV-E-REND
BISHOP AVERY

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
