Got Religion, Will Travel

Today I have become so deaf
Of hearing I am quite bereft
For, travelling on my way to work
I was accompanied by a jerk
Who proferred his religious views
A monotone was what he used
But with the volume turned up LOUD
He made a big space in the crowd
I placed my finger in my ear
And hoped that he would disappear
With the invectives he was flinging
When he got off my ears were ringing
Maybe his speech has got me saved
For if in life I've misbehaved
They'll call and call for me in vain
I won't be present to explain
For when the judgement trumpets call
I will not hear their sound at all
