                                                       After the Prom

               After the prom, brothers Dom and Tom said goodbye to their mom and went

               to   fight   in  Viet  Nam.  Dom        fired   mortars     that   went    pom,  pom;     and   Tom

               dropped the napalm bomb.



               And after Viet Nam, Dom and Tom married sisters Susie and Sara Wom,

               whom they met on the island of Guam.

                                                                                                  Palm Sunday
























                     On Palm Sunday the choir shall sing some calm psalms that will soothe

                     souls like balm.




                     No soul shall express any qualm. All shall give alms, sing songs, and wave

                     palms.
