His sermon thus artfully angled
Displayed his beliefs so newfangled.
But to shore up his pronouns
He tried using no nouns
And soon became hopelessly tangled.



OK, let's try this:

Despite being artfully angled
His thoughts were just hopelessly tangled.
With talent thus lacking
He soon was sent packing;
A lesser position he's wangled.

As the flock has become very small,
We now use the tiny church hall.
They call it the Hutch,
As it doesn't hold much –
Three chairs and some hymn books, that's all.

I have miscellaneous skills,
But a miracle cure for all ills
I have not yet perfected.
Now don't get dejected –
Try some of my happiness pills.

A posh English golfer called Brian
Encountered a ravenous lion.
He withdrew at a rate
That was fairly sedate,
While swinging his club (a four-iron).

I like chamber music that calms,
Especially Schubert and Brahms,
In a warm atmosphere
With a fine chandelier
And other such sensual balms.

A police helicopter was sent
To a Helvetic skiing event.
The cops reached a slope,
Descended a rope,
And cornered their man in a tent.

The statesman looked slightly askance
When asked if a half-decent chance
Of peace now existed.
The deadlock persisted,
He said; there was still no advance.

When I sit at my desk to transmit
My pearls of poetical wit
And set them in motion
Traversing the ocean,
I must say it awes me a bit.

A real flying-saucer fanatic
Is apt to be overdramatic.
I can scarcely refrain
From replying "Insane!"
Or another word just as emphatic.

The breadth of the minister's role
Was starting to take quite a toll.
He wouldn't stop beefing
At each lengthy briefing;
The paperwork made his eyes roll.
