The service was slow and quite still
the preacher droned on until
snores and yawns could be heard
as loud as the preached word

Bro Golman stifled another yawn
Sis Rue recovered from a long nod
Elder Randall was snoring in the Holy Ghost
Bro Ting, eyes closed in slumber, still as a post

It all came to a sudden end
when a brand new convert came in
"Praise the Lord" he shouted very loudly
and raised his hands in praise so proudly

"Humph!" Bro Golman snorted loudly
Sis Rue waked from sleeping so soundly
"Hey" proclaimed Elder Randall. "What's all the fuss?
Bro Ting never moved, just said "Give him time, he'll be just like us . . . ."
