Years ago, Our Choir Director, Robert F. Twynham, almost died! As God would have it, our Soprano Leader, Paula, went downstairs to the Choir-room to see what was keeping Bob.

She JUST HAPPENED to be a NURSE - she and 911 - SAVED his life!

True story from The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore, Maryland.

After years of insistence, by our former Assistant Choir Director, Paul Binko, HERE IT IS !!!


ODE ON AN ANEURYSM



WE ALL KNOW A GUY NAME OF ROBERT,


WHO RECENTLY HAD TO BE BRAVE.


WHILE PREPARING FOR MASS,


HE FELL ON HIS ASS,


AND HE ALMOST WENT TO HIS GRAVE.



 


WHILE IN SAINT JOSEPH'S, HE DID LAY,


NO ORGAN, OR OTHER THINGS, COULD HE PLAY.


SO, HE COUNTED HIS TOES,


AND PICKED HIS NOSE,


'TIL HE REACHED THE END OF HIS STAY.


 


WE ALL WERE RACKED WITH ALARM,


WHEN WE HEARD OF HIS BODILY HARM,


BUT, AS WE ALL PRAYED, TO STAY HIS TRIP TO HEAVEN,


WE HEARD HIM RETORT,
ABOUT HIS RECENT BOWEL REPORT,


AND, AVOIDED THE "FILM AT ELEVEN."



 


OLD DIRECTORS NEVER DIE ---


THEY JUST "LOOSE" THEIR SEATS !

Lol, I had to laugh, as two or three years ago I was in hospital with one, and they ain't much fun. Till I heard what I'd been doing and saying.

You just gotta laugh at anything you can see the funny side in.

I just love this..
