Harmony Restored. - Arcanum Cafe

Harmony restored.

The vicar, such a nice old gent.
Sees both sides of the argument.
But there is little he can do.
He will not choose between the two.
Maintains a strict neutrality
and prays for guidance reverently

The Sabbath should pass peacefully,
quite free from all hostility.
But Oh Dear Me it isn’t so
the organist will have to go.
So we regain tranquillity
and hear the choir properly.

The organist will take offence.
But we must act in self defence.
The vicar acts reluctantly
and grants the choirmaster’s plea.
The organist just has to go.
He played far too fortissimo.

The worst thing about southern churches, is the music.
The worst thing about churches in general, in fact, is the music.
Of course, all that lecturing and threatening doesn't help... but it's those doleful, sadly dragged out verses of Bringing In The Sheaves that really adds the macabre to it all...

And the damn electro-musical pedalings of a spinster widow on the organ...

Walter Mathau to Dan Akroyd in THE COUCH TRIP:
"She said she played the organ, and she sure played mine..."

Oh touche!
