Wayne's Pain

A mean Scottish painter called Wayne,

Thinned down his paint purely for gain.

One day the church asked him to put in a bid,

The lower his price the more thinning he did.

So he put up the scaffolding and set out the planks,

And prayed at the church and for the job gave his thanks..

While Wayne was up the scaffolding,the job nearly completed,

The paint, full of turpentine very heavily deleted.

A horrendous clap of thunder knocked Wayne off his ladder.

The rain washed away the paint,the church couldn't look  sadder.

 

"What shall I do Oh Lord?Forgive me thee I do love."

"Repent,repaint and thin no more,"said a voice from above.

Ho-ho! You have to possess a sublime sense of the ridiculous to come up with this!

Brilliant Hugh. I can't make up my mind whether you've brought poetry to a new high or a new low. Keep 'em coming to help me.
