A Powerful Moment in Church

The preacher was inspired and determined

His sermon was powerful and long

A parishioner was also determined

To wish for the end and be gone

His bowels tortured his composure

The gas having all but escaped

He prayed for the end of the speaking

So he could leave with the utmost of haste

But fate was not be fortunate

When the preacher soon took a long pause

The man reached the end of his containment

The blast was shocking to all

Like a foghorn on a foggy night

A deep tone; echoing from the walls

Fading into a low rumble

One small blast; a peep; and that was all

One woman up front soon fainted

Another almost had a stroke

One man even started laughing

But was soon silenced by his wife’s stern poke

The preacher resumed his sermon

But it was soon determined by all

An odor was filling the chamber

Only missed by those that were tall

The preacher realized his powerful words

Could never overpower the evil aroma

He ended his sermon without a prayer

Wishing he’d never left Oklahoma

So the lesson learned on that day

And should always be passed on to friends

Is that boiled eggs and pickled okra

Create farts more evil than sin.
