Dedicated to "Christians" Who Take Their Marbles and Go Home

There once was a member of a church,

Who left other members in the lurch.

   He got very upset,

   And so he quickly left,

To remain at home upon his perch.

He thought he had been wrongly accused,

By someone from among the church crew.

   A P. I.  he became,

   And searched for who to blame,

Until upon one he dropped the shoe.

Of course his target was the wrong head.

You see no charge had ever been said.

   He had misunderstood,

   A concern for his good.

And his imagination was fed.

The pastor called and wrote to correct.

Each attempt the member did reject.

   His heart was now on fire.

   He called pastor, "Liar"!

For weeks his church he did not respect.

Cloistered in his home, he took his stand!

Admitting his problem? Not this man.

   Impossible thought he,

   the problem could be me.

Pastor and church from life he did ban.

Then that pastor departed the scene.

Next week the member at church was seen.

    He never repented,

    Or even relented.

Yet the church greeted him as a king!

For weeks he abandoned his brothers,

His deacon list as well as others.

    But the church didn't care,

    They just wanted him there.

So it was a day like any other.
