Embury Methodist Church

I thought I'd introduce myself with a photo of a cool-looking local Methodist church and a poem about one of our patron saints...

John Wayne's Gut
a cowboy rap/yodel shindig

I used to watch the Western shows
When I was a boy
The shoot 'em ups and slap 'em downs
brought me endless joy

As the years passed by, I've left behind
all my violent ways
But though I left the Duke behind
this one thing always stays:

I've got John Wayne's gut
Great big belly and a scrawny butt
I've got John Wayne's gut
Although I'm not a right wingnut
He rode off into that final sunset
Never to be seen again
And tho' he's gone
He'll always be
here,
my friend.
I got John Wayne's gut.

Thanks to John for the invitation to guest-blog in his absence. Here's hoping I don't embarass him or myself. He'll surely be missed...
