Vicar on Fire!
A vicar from Plymouth, his parish, St. Budeaux
gave his virtual flock quite the spirited show
as he paused for a prayer
brushed a wick, unaware
then he ended his sermon with “stop, drop and roll”!

I love it. How on earth did I miss this? I know exactly how. My reader has developed this nasty habit of inserting unread posts way down the list.
I never miss any of your posts, but this one I did!
I love the origin too. Must have been funny to see.

Thanks Peter. Coming from you means a lot! I had a bit of a fit with the first line meter, but the syllable count is correct. I’m not all gloom and doom! 😉😊 he is a good vicar, I think. Just said “oh my”! I’m afraid I would’ve used more colorful language had it been me!!! 😳

I’ve met a few vicars who would definitely use something a little stronger!
