Stringed Fingers
By rilLie

The title was from a friend of mine, Yacci. her Deviantart account is:
http://stringedfingers.deviantart.com   and this is dedicated to a certain someone my friends and I all love to hate. lol.

You're always "praying" noisily
your shouts are heard outside
the grimmy chapel you call home
and you walk a strutty stride.

You pride yourself on knowing
"Veni Sancte Spiritus"
you call it conversational Latin,
and call yourself a genius.

You sing too loudly everytime
we celebrate the mass
and you make sure that we all hear
especially that lass.

You pride yourself on bragging
that to church you always go
that you are "with" the Lord,
but we know it ain't so.

You're a bastard, you should know
and a humongous git at that
and everytime you make a show
we prove that it's a fact.

You call your stringed fingers
a damned holy position.
Well blimey, those are crappy words!
Get over your ambition!

Good bit of character assassination. 
 
Particularly liked:

Funny poem. Seems as if this person has to compensate for something... Seems (s)he is more concerned about his/her own image than about God...

'character assassination' covers it nicely! Good to get the bile out of your system? Liked it
