JOSIE'S POEMS
Funny People Poems
By Josie Whitehead
MR SANCTIMONIOUS
By Josie Whitehead
Every Sunday, in his church pew,
Sits 'old stuffy' and his wife,
But, does he find amusement
In his sober, pious life?
He sees no good in others
And he doesn’t really care.
He’s haughty and he’s puffed-up
Even when he says a prayer.
Sometimes he preaches sermons,
But we’ve heard it all before.
One woman’s head dropped forward
And we heard a fearsome snore!
An iceberg? Yes, quite frozen
With a saintly, pious face.
Those sulky, glowering looks tell you
That you are in disgrace!
His long-term goal is Heaven,
With those other godly folk - but
God only lets you through his gates
If you can share a joke!

* Sanctimonious = Sanctimonious means pretending to be morally superior to others, or acting in a way that comes across as "holier-than-thou". It's a formal, disapproving term.
I remember this man: He even wrote his own funeral oration before he died. hmm
