One day they went out fishing.
The three Preachers left the cabin
Out onto the water was their mission.
They rowed the boat out a short way
And cast their lines in the water
Hoping to catch some lunch
And maybe some wayward souls.
The Anglican need to go ashore,
So he jumped out of the boat
And strode purposely and with Faith
On the surface of the water.
He came back with his flask,
And hopped back into the boat.
The Methodist need to go ashore,
So he too strode the water and back.
The Roman Catholic looked on,
Looked on in wonder,
As he saw these two Ministers
Walking on water,
Such a show and reality
Of their Faith.
He thought if they can do it,
My Faith is just as strong,
So I can do it just as well,
I too will go to the cabin.
He jumped off the boat
And sank straight into the depths.
The other two just looked on in horror,
And in guilt,
As one said to the other,
“We should have told him,
The stepping stones
Were on our side of the boat”

Great ending quite unexpected - super stuff Andy.
Thanks Michael.
I guess sometimes faith doesn't work!
It depends on how strong it is. Thanks Fred.
Faith doth have its limits, dothent it. Cute one, Goldie!
Thanks Louis, there are limits to most things.
This was hilariously brilliant.
So kind Nicholas, thank you.
Great Goldfinch!
Thank you WGL.
Faith needs a backup, a hipflask and an ungodly wish
Thanks for the comment b-e.
Why "Roman Catholic "?
I did burst into laugh at the end.
A nice poem in a humor way.
It was just the way it came out, the RC Priest in our town does not have a very good reputation. Thank you for reading it.
