Alphabetical Limericks #23 "W is for Whitsuntide" (what else?)

Whitsuntide #1

The crowd at the Whitsuntide service
Was so small that the vicar was nervous.
"I've never denied
That the Lord will provide,
But the week is so bleak - Saints preserve us!"


Whitsuntide #2 

The flock at the Whitsuntide rite
Was dismayed that the Bishop was tight.
The obvious sign
That he'd had too much wine
Was the limerick he chose to recite.
