Poem based on Matthew 11:16-19 ,25-30 Rest for the Weary

Dance, dance wherever you may be

For we are the lords of the dance

Said we

Jesus!!

What do you want with us

Jesus!!

We did you bidding

We started the church

We studied all the documents

And found ways to keep the word

Pure

And them

Out

We have accords and charts

Timetables and structures

Committees and boards

(come to me)

Who make division decisions

And keep the righteous wannabes

Happy

(all who are weary)

We even invite them in

Just not as clergy

(and burdened)

After all

(and I will give you rest)

This is our church

Isn’t it?
