GROAN-UP

When I was a child,
I spake as a child,
I thought as a child:
but when I became a man,
I put away childish things.
(No you didn't ....)

 

MANY ARE CALLED

Many are called,
few are chosen.
I don't suppose I'll be chosen.
Or called.

 

SHERWOOD GREEN

Robin Hood
had the right idea
about wealth,
but the wrong idea
about health,
(he was always fighting
and he fell in love).

 

SARM

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
He maketh me drink the lot.
That'll teacheth me.
