The Fourth Sunday in Advent –
Maybe I Should Have Shaped this as a Chalice
As George Herbert Might Have Done

At Mass I was tagged to serve as First Host
Because someone else was taking my place
As First Cup but then whoever had First Host
Had a cough. When I went to the vestry

I was told I was not needed and then
Somebody else told me that I was. Then yet
Someone else said I was not needed
And then yet again somebody else told me

That I was. And in the event, the church lady
Who organizes these things told everyone…
