Fire Will Come Down From HeavenA Poem by Elton CampThe preacher relates his prophetic dream.Fire Will Come Down From Heaven
By Elton Camp
The preacher had been irritated of late Not enough came on the collection plate So the Rev came up with a tricky scheme Told the congregation of his scary dream “The Lord said unless there’s more today Then with lightning he is going to slay.” The Rev was about say it would hit him, But the outside darkened & looked grim He hadn’t figured on a development like that And wondered if God cared he was a lying rat Big bolts of lightning flashed to the ground At that, the Rev began to gulp and frown “See old Miss Benchly sitting over there? God said he’d kill her unless show you care.” © 2011 Elton Camp |
