AT YOUR SERVICE<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Once there was this gal named Sil,
\nShe had a friend, his name was Bill.
\nAlmost seventy and over the hill,
\nHe loved God and served Him still.<\/p>\n

Now Bill was quite a techno geek,
\nBut others called him a Jesus freak.
\nSil had a phone she liked a lot,
\nWhich often made her temper hot.<\/p>\n

It did things which made her mad,
\nShe’d tell Bill “This phone is bad!”
\nSo Sil would ask him to come down,
\nBut Bill knew she had screwed around.<\/p>\n

Sure enough that phone was fine,
\nYou see, Sil herself was out of line.
\nDoing stuff which she should not,
\nThere were things she had forgot.<\/p>\n

So Bill would show her what to do,
\nAnd her phone would be like new.
\nTroubles gone, everything’s great,
\nBill’s service is not second rate.<\/p>\n

Yet still he waits for her next call,
\nSil gives poor Bill no rest at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
