A cynic's meal (stick it to em)

Put your piety in your pocket

Get off your cross we need the lumber

When you're around they say lock it

You bow saying no one's humbler

Even the priest has cross eyes

A penny for the poor a pound for clerisy

Pigs live in butcher's sties

Greed devours charity

Neville I appreciate your read and most gracious comment. It means all the more coming from you.

I am truly honoured but you, in the words of L'Oréal are truly worth it :)

Excellent piece...and the second line is one I wish I had written.

Yes, a shortage of lumber because of self-pity...absolutely.

Thank you Jacob anytime a great poet like you tells me the wish they had written a line of mine I take it as the highest compliment thank you for that Jacob you made my day.
