What would a pew say if it could speak?
would it share the wisdom of the lesson each week?
through sermons gave through countless years
of supporting the widow amongst her tears
of the songs of God sang by mortal men
of 2 people becoming slightly more than friends
of prayers would it keep your secrets kept?
of lectures and sermons has it also slept?
would it talk about those who cared?
would it speak or say a prayer?
would it ask of moments gone by to fast?
or would it simply say, "Go Wipe Your Ass"

Haha. Now the title makes perfect sense. Very creative...didn't see that punch line coming and that's the mark of a great joke.

This was a really refreshing read. A poem about pews, how different! You really seem to grasp what the church is all about.
"of supporting the widow amongst her tears

Um, I think you are trying to be blasphemous, but maybe DEEP down inside, you think on a more serious level.... or maybe you just need a shrink

OH, my GOSH!
I was thinkin' that your poem would be a good poem for a minister to read to his congregation and THEN
I got to the last line and cracked up! 
Oh, poet you are in a ripe and rare mood this day! 
Thank you so much for your humour, which we all need to stay sane.

LOL what a strange mix of philosophy and humor!
Just when I think something sounds thought provoking and ponder an interesting idea you bring up, suddenly the pew is telling me to wipe my ass...
Fun poem. It made me grin.
