Face down in the mashed potatoes
The Reverend Doctor ended up
Where he was thrown his deathly throes
Face down next to his upended cup
There when life and death came to blows
Blown away then by his own buffet
For life or death nor hesitate
The Reverend Doctor ate and ate
Being a good man if not great
Broad of beam though narrow he could seem
Nor any why not just why when
He would know then he would tell you so
Just how many angels should dance
On the head of a pin then again
Could not dance himself should the chance
Arise but pies and cakes went right in
And butter cookies by the tin
Gluttony his one if only sin
The wind blows who knows where it goes
But the Reverend Doctor is gone
Except to be face down in those
Potatoes like clouds that pass us by
That do not care that cannot lie
So pass the potatoes life goes on
Face up under clouds I wonder
If he got his pie in the sky
