The bats got drunk when the belfry sunk and the church vanished into a hole,
Cardinal Pole said, 'bless my soul it looks like the vicar has shrunk'

Oh, but Jesus saves for a rainier day and the sunken church will just have to stay where it is.

Sketches on the radio
they're heathens and
what would they know?

Coffee calls me,
not to pray,
not to the church that has to stay
but to the kitchen which in
my place
is the safest place to be.
