SQUEAKY CLEAN<\/p>\n

If you are going to preach,
\nMake sure you do it well,
\nSplash on some cologne,
\nYou don’t want to smell.<\/p>\n

Please brush your hair,
\nDon’t look like some bum,
\nLook very presentable,
\nFor when sheepies come.<\/p>\n

Yes, brush all your teeth,
\nMake your pearlies white,
\nThat way you can smile,
\nShowing them God’s light.<\/p>\n

Now concerning your nails,
\nShort ones would be fine,
\nNo, nothing long or phony,
\nDon’t dare cross that line.<\/p>\n

No need to wear a suit,
\nEven camel’s hair will do,
\nAnd don’t forget to gargle,
\nWith a good swish or two.<\/p>\n

Whether jeans or slacks,
\nI\u2019ll just leave it up to you,
\nNow regarding their color,
\nWell, black, brown or blue.<\/p>\n

Don’t wear any shades,
\nLet them see your eyes,
\nSo Jesus can shine thru,
\nIs what I strongly advise.<\/p>\n

Shoes should be clean,
\nWhether tennies or dress,
\nI much prefer the former,
\nIf you want me to confess.<\/p>\n

Lastly, choose your Bible,
\nThe most important thing,
\nSheep will hear His voice,
\nAnd Angels will then sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
