A fire on the staircase,
The body in the pantry,
A woman in the confessional
Reading Elmer Gantry.
Cutworms on the salad.
Bats below the eaves.
On the doorstep pamphlets
Claiming Jesus grieves.
Children in the parkway,
Placards held on high,
THINGS WILL ALL BE BETTER
When the piggies fly.
When the door is opened
And the stairs ascend.
When the teller flaunts his
Tales at either end.
