In
Search of A Reason
Dr. P. K. JOY
On Good Friday he drank
to drown his sorrow
and on Holy Saturday
to remove hangover.
With the Easter morning drink
he rejoiced at His rising
and then called the neighbours for a
Holy Communion.
He converted the bar
into a make-shift Altar
and the eucharistic worship
they read out in haste.
Solemnly they consumed
the sacrament things
and thanked Jesus Christ
for dying and resurrecting.
The altar folded back
to unfold next year
and the bar reappeared to usher in
real Easter spirits.
While the congregation was floating
on strong East spirits
Christ appeared in garments
as white as snow and said
“think up now a reason
why you should drink on Monday,
and try if you can delink
my name from your boozing.”.
