The Saintly Sin Poem by Edwina Reizer

The Saintly Sin



There was a man dressed shabbily
in church in the same old pew.
He sat there piously and pretended to pray
but knew what he would do.

He waited patiently for the collection plate
to pass him in the pew.
He made the effort to stop the plate
and this is what he'd do.

He'd place a penny in the plate
and take two quarters out.
And as he left he'd smiled a lot
and you would hear him shout

Hallelujah Lord.
