Communion Shirt

Am I the only one who drips communion wine on my shirt? Here's my situation.

 

 
I’m looking for a purple shirt.
The pattern can be plain.
I’ll wear it to communion
and it won’t show a stain.
 
I dip that bread into the cup
but when I raise it to my lip
a purple drop lands on the chest
of my light shirt which isn’t hip.
 
Perhaps I should just wear a bib
which other people would think strange
or have another shirt with me
and go to the bathroom and change.
 
What would you do my dear fine friend
if this kept happening to you?
Maybe I’ll try your suggestion
or a polka dot shirt will do.

Larry, some people will be outraged by this suggestion, but if it were me, in that situation, I would keep a wee small straw in my pocket, for that 'just in case' moment.

Cheers,
Dan

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
