Seven forty five we start to arrive To tea coffee water or squash We’re all there by eight and no one is late Not without a good reason or ten There’s Barry, and Michael (his brother) and several others And Sharon and Karen and Ken Keeping it neat in our stocking feet We find ourselves somewhere to sit We all bring a bible and some bring a bottle And some come with paper and pen There’s Anita and Jill and some others still And Sharon and Karen and Ken Breaking the ice with something nice That’s happened to you in the week We go round the room and each takes their turn Telling what happened to them There’s Geraldine, Barbara, and others we’ve seen And Sharon and Karen and Ken Now the serious bit we listen to it From a tape or on D.V.D. Then we split to discuss not shouting too much Taking care not to deafen Hosts Pauline and Paul and that’s not all There’s Sharon and Karen and Ken From heated debate before it gets late We gather our thoughts and pause We offer a prayer for those who aren’t there For the world and for the church Amen From Wendy and John and I should mention Sharon and Karen and Ken Then a choice of drink what do you think Of squash or coffee or tea Now a glass of red wine that would be fine It’s hard to know when to say when For David and others I won’t mention (the brothers) Or Sharon and Karen and Ken
