No Jokes Please

For there are many preachers

That show a comedy,

They also use theatrics

But it pulls no weight with me.

God's Scripture they mix with humour

And delight the simple folk,

Who when they leave the meeting say;

"What a funny bloke."



But wisdom gives discretion

With understanding she doth speak

To keep man's mouth from rashness

If wisdom he will seek.



For I received wisdom's counsel

To me these words she spoke,

"Be instant with the Word and

forget about the joke."



Ecclesiastes 5:1,2
