PASTORAL VISIT
THE BISHOP COMES IN HIS FINE NEW CLOTHES
TO TALK TO US ABOUT BEING POOR
SMELLING OF COLOGNE AND GOOD CIGARS
HE COUNSELS PATIENCE AND OBEDIENCE
WARMLY DRESSED AGAINST THE CHILL
HE TELLS US KEEP THE FIRE OF FAITH ALIVE
IGNORANT OF COCKROACH RAT OR MOUSE
HE TALKS TO US OF HEAVENLY FOOD
PHYSICIAN ATTENDED FOR EVERY ILL
HE TELLS US HOPE WILL MAKE US WELL
FINE CAR CARRIED HE ADMONISHES US
THAT WE ARE PILGRIMS ON THE ROAD
PROPERLY SERMONED WE SIDEWALK STAND
TO SHOW HIM OUR FAREWELLS AND LOYALTY
AS HE GOES HOME TO FINE WHISKEY AND WARM BED
THE BISHOP HAS VISITED HIS PEOPLE
