Give us ya dough, your money, that is
Say some churches
And some never stop asking!
Even St Paul is fair about it
He says it's accepted of what person has
And it doesn't go by what they don't have
We can't give what we've not got
Unless the money grows on trees
Well, it does partly -
In having paper notes
Dunno about nowadays with the plastic-ey notes
But oh, if ya got plenty of dough
The (unspoken?) message of some places
(Not only some churches)
Is - 'Got cash? Come and join us; you'll soon be broke!'
'Give it to us; all contributions gratefully received'
Is the cliché phrase
All that will be in your purse / wallet
Is them moths escaping from it!
It all goes to me really
I siphon it off - do I? LOL

- Comment from author about the poem: This is sort of humour, but I've called it reflection. It's tiresome, the money-grabbers in some places.

I heard that God had to take out a loan so he's selling bonds, they're heavenly insured and you can buy them at your local church. Martin Luther was against it but look what happened to him. Good own Orchi
Thank you SB.
Most welcome my friend
Stick it under yer mattress, mate - save it for YER roof. Only don't let it get too stale, could go mouldy 'cos yer know yer can't take it with yer; already only shiny credit cards allowed in......
Thank you D. lol.
PS: Ya know there's a pin up now exclusively about Yoo, doncha? Told 'em you'll be back later...unless you want to face the music now....
You're not wrong. As soon as you put the Telly on its 'Give this' ' Give that'. Don't get me wrong; I put money in a Tin every now and then: but those Ads drive you Mad. They should ask Premiership Footballers for donations, instead of People trying to make ends-meet.
Good Write.
Thank you K.
I think we should let loose the Obi Wans of war on them…and give the proceeds to the poor…erm…might have my stories mixed up! 🤔 🤣😂
Thank you T. That Obi & Co get in everywhere! lol.
For real...and so does their...DON'T FINISH THAT! 🤣
I won't finish that. Swoon! lol.
Very true Orchi. When there was the fire in Notre Dame cathedral they asked for donations to fix it, the Roman Catholics being the richest organisation in the world would not pay for it!

Thank you Gold. I can't say I didn't give a penny towards a project, but I only gave a few pounds.
I hear ya, Orchi. The church I attended as a kid would treat the wealthier members of the congregation like royalty, in the hope of larger contributions, while ignoring and over-looking the rest of us, and all the while preaching! Hmmm.
Oh yes, I was there. I had me own rented pew-box in olden days. lol. No one else allowed in it. Some had curtains too, so ya could doze off in the sermon, I suppose!
