                                                        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.
