Animal blessings next Tuesday,

Said the digital board

Outside St. Francis Church.


That piqued my curiosity.

How could it possibly be?

Churches are for you and me!


I went in to inquire, curiously,

And was explained to me, thusly:

We had a financial catastrophe.


Between you and me,

Said the priest cunningly,

A decision based on necessity.


Covid has been bad for business.

Please help the church and me,

Said Father Micky, expectantly.


In celebration of World Animal Day 2022
