Explore "Mr. Pennybaker at Church" by Elizabeth Madox Roberts on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He holds his songbook very low, / And then he stretches down his face, / And Mother said, "You mustn't watch, / He's only singing bass."
He makes his voice go walking down, / Or else he hurries twice as fast / As all the rest, but even then / He finishes the song the last.
And when I see him singing there, / I wonder if he knows it all / About Leviticus and Shem / And Deuteronomy and Saul.
