Dressed in Sunday finery,
Feeling virtuous,
I’m reading the Gospel
And listening to the preacher’s sermon
In my head: "I will think good thoughts.
I will tread the righteous path.
I will avoid sin like the plague—"
But come Saturday night,
Several beers in at the meat market,
I'm thinking otherwise.
