Coffee and Cookies after Mass - poem

 

Coffee and Cookies after Mass

 

Only there is no coffee after Mass

No cookies or Kool-Aid for the kidlets

The parish hall has been locked up for months

And you know, there’s just something wrong with that

 

There is no one to remind the children

Only two cookies each, because there are no children

No old people enthroned in folding chairs

To fuss as ever about about children these days

 

Dear child, my heart and my life, I don’t think

The bishop wants you to have a cookie after Mass

 

                                                          But I do
