Clapping in the church
Reverend Spittle led a little
clapping in the church.
he says, ‘although traditional,
my attitude is missional.
i favour unconditional
ker-lapping in the church.’
Reverend Spittle won’t belittle
clapping in the church.
he says, ‘it is my passion
to go along with fashion
and let them have their ration
of clapping in the church.’
Reverend Spittle likes some brittle
clapping in the church.
he says, ‘i know some hate the noise
but let me be one of the boys
experiencing the untold joys
of clapping in the church.’
