No Empty Pews

sonnet in iambic tetrameter

 

 

 

No Empty Pews.

 

There are no empty pews tonight.

The worshippers are packed in tight,

the vicar’s surplice gleaming white .

Be because we’re on T.V: That’s right.

These pillars of society

 put on a show of piety.

A symbol of propriety

Because tonight we’re on T.V.

The congregation usually

 consist of only two or three.

Who come each Sunday faithfully.

But this Sunday we’re on T.V

 The ultimate hypocrisy

 T.V Christianity.
