My Preacher

Originally written March 30, 2008

I heard my preacher’s sermon the other day,
That really made me frown.
He said David tied his ass to a tree,
Then danced two miles into town.
I got up from my pew,
And started toward the door.
I may some day run for president,
So I can’t use him no more.
I really liked that preacher,
He lived what he preached I know.
But with someone like Hannity asking why I stayed,
I knew I had better get up and go.
Someday near the close of my existence,
When I reach that long last ditch.
I expect I’ll have to explain,
Why I made the switch.
I said I liked that preacher,
His speech, his Christian views.
But if I had run for president,
He might have made me lose.
