Analysis of Reclusive, Regrettable



Ever lost a Friend?

I mean COVID business

Put him under the bridge.

He is staying there.

Recently a grandpa with

That and his white cat.

Friends have trundled off.

A former Pastor.

Tried the House Church movement.

Left that, as did I.

We used to meet every

Sunday early at

Plus 2 or 3 others.

Talk about Men Stuff

Bible at table’s centre.

Holy Ghost would enter.
