the last time I went to church
I sang the hymns off key
and the rest of the congregation
leered at me

they were unaware
of my throat being sore
and that was why I sang
with a hoarse roar

after the service
the vicar approached me
to say he wasn't too happy
with my singing off key

his insulting comment
was not well received
so I promptly stormed off
feeling most peeved
