the saturday morning pancake prayer meeting

one of my wives
made me a join a church
during the second year
of our marriage.
she was holy for a while.
this was
a few years before she started
sleeping with my son's
karate teacher, Carlos.
she signed me up
for the saturday morning
men's prayer meeting pancake
breakfast.
i was to make pancakes
and bacon
for the men in the congregation.
i knew nothing about pancake
batter, where to start,
where to begin, plus i liked
to sleep in and then
go play basketball,
so i didn't go. i was a no show
and got written up
in the sunday bulletin.
it read:
for those who sign up to
do things in the church,
who volunteer in the name
of God to help out
and don't show up with
no explanation, we pray
for you.
