Trinity Trouble?

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!
