With apologies to Dr. Seuss and Marvin K. Mooney will you Please go now!
The time is now.
To come somehow.
Just come.

You can come in a car,
a taxi or train.
You can come in the sun;
Or come in the rain.
Marvin K Mooney will
YOU please come now.
Your mothers and daughters
And sisters and aunts
Are all doing good deeds.
Come join them now,
with haste and with speed.
Please, come join them now!
You can come in a rush;
You can sing real LOUD
Or whisper a “hush”.
You can come to the Church,
Synagogue or Temple.
Come in a lurch, a jog, or a semple.
You can come to the
Abbey, the Chapel or Mosque.
Come worship here.

Just come, come, come!
Please come today
Come! You may.
You may come, I say.
