The Local Choir

On Sunday when the choir sings

I do not think of angel wings

But rather of a weathered hinge

Upon a rusty squeaking binge.

I know the singers are sincere

In wanting God to be quite near

But voices free of practice are

Made to set my teeth ajar.

I really do not mean to sneer;

I often wish for a tin ear.

And in my heart I sure do know

That church is not a talent show.

And those who come close unto God

Are never featured on iPod.

The fault is mine, I do confess,

But is it wrong to seek finesse?
