I READ THE BABBLE

my occupation ? minister 
many weddings I have led
"I now pronounce you, man and wife"
so many times I've said
 
but late in life, I must confess
dyslexia occurred
and my pronunciations 
ended up as other words
 
I really mangled "man and wife"
which left me in the stew
i once proclaimed them "Vanna White"
and "Barney Fife" once too
 
when giving Sunday sermons
i would get the words all bent
one morning I said "testicles"
when "testament", I meant
 
I once cried "Hallelujah"
"how I blew ya", out instead
I meant "I'm giving glory"
but it came out "giving head"
 
I stutter and I stammer
and reverse the words I know
the "angels" turn to "mongrels"
"jerkin' off", not Jericho 
 
It's one thing to get dyslexic
but alas, here in my dome
I also have discovered
that I have Tourette's syndrome
