Trinity Trouble?
Fido asks me - Did you avoid a poem
On the \'famous\' Trinity Sunday
Cos you didn\'t know what to write on it?
Yet, in simple terms a Trinity can be like
Say, a three-leaved clover
Or milk, sugar, and tea, in a cup of tea
Three things in one
God in three Persons, as a line of a hymn says
But another trouble - could be any Sunday
The singing of a Psalm - not to a hymn tune
But a tune that sometimes only the choir knows
And they\'re not gonna tell us what it is!
(Though some churches play the tune beforehand
So as least we have some inkling of it)
So when we sing it - no one knows the tune
Then, a ghastly phrase: \'murdering of the Psalm\'
Bumbling and stumbling through it to the end
For seemingly an interminable time
Even if a shorter Psalm
Would be much better if said
Rather than singing and no one knowing the tune
Does God say? \'Oh no, they\'re gonna \'try\'
To sing me a Psalm again
I\'m getting me earplugs out\'
But He doesn\'t blame the congregation
Who don\'t know the tune in the first place! Doh!
