It's Good for the Soul

Kevin Hulme

                    Man

'Oh Bless me Father for I have Sinned,

And I'm all at Sea where I should begin'.

'For I had Sex last Night with Ladies three;

The Swedish sort , And oh Carefree'.

'I Performed the Act not Once or Twice;

But a first for me - I did It Thrice'.

 

                   Priest 

'Have you been to Confession anytime before'?

 

                       Man

'Oh no good Father, I'm of the Jewish Law'.

 

                       Priest 

'Well why are you here telling me my Son'?

 

                        Man

'Because I'm doing the Town telling everyone'.

              That’s quite the avenue for confession and dissemination! 🙏🏻🕊️

                  There’s a damn cheeky little joke at the center of this, and the reveal that he isn’t confessing out of guilt but simply because he wants to brag gives it its punch. The priest’s final question sets up the perfect straight line for the man’s shameless answer.

                    Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

                    Yes, sometimes you've just got to beat your own drum, and it's only right others should know.

                    • Kevin Hulme

                      Especially when there's a build-up of dust on that Drum.
                      Thanks for Reading.

                      Kevin, this cracked me up. 🤣 The setup is so straight-faced that the ending lands even harder…absolutely hilarious, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
