Robin Funeral

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church,
our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly
made his collar wilt. Apparently, his five-year-old son
and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that
proper burial should be performed, they had secured a
small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made
ready for the disposal of the deceased.

The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate
prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of
what he thought his father always said:

"Glory be unto the Faaaather. And unto the sonnn.......and
into the hole he gooooes."

I'm not sure if this fellow Lee Toole just submitted it or if it really was his minister, but I got it from the Good Clean Funnies List. :)
