Cuppas resume for church
The Church Council met on Monday 13th July and decided the following;
©Claire Reynolds 7th July 2020 Take care of your skin, although it’s just thin you really should guard it with care. In a whole lot of strife and in danger of life you would be if your skin wasn’t there. For although it is thin, it keeps all the rest in and it makes you look tidy and neat. Just think of the scare if your skin wasn’t there and the rest of you fell round your feet. If you’d no skin in place, there’s no spot for your face and your features would all disappear. When you walk down the street, all the people you meet would not know you from Adam, I fear. If your skin wasn’t there, there’s no place for your hair and your coiffure would be rather dull. Where your hair was once lush, there’d be nothing to brush it would just be a bare bony skull. Imagine the moans and the rattles and groans if no skin kept your skeleton straight. And think of the trouble and the big pile of rubble, for your bones would all disintegrate. There would be such a fussel as you lost all your muscle; for muscle is really just meat. You wouldn’t feel strong and it would be so wrong -- dogs chasing you way down the street. And what of the flood as you notice your blood all gushing off straight down the drain. You would feel awfully weak; you’d be up that old creek with no paddle to get back again. Sing “Hey, Diddle Diddle” right in there in the middle if all the rest should fall away; the real vital parts, like lungs, liver and hearts would drop out; and then you’ve had your day! So, take care of your skin, for it may be just thin, maybe wrinkled and wrecked by the weather; But don’t ever doubt it; you are stonkered without it, because it keeps all your good stuff together. . |
