Analysis of No Business Showed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
There's no business.
Like showed business.
To go shown to be known.
Many find this for them more appealing.
Than pretending it for them is done.
Others sit awaiting when there's business.
A kind of business for them that comes.
There's no business.
Like showed business.
For those told to wait patiently.
Regardless if it's not yet to believe.
People are asked to pray faithfully.
On bended knees...
Even,
if it takes...
Their knees done to bleed!
Oh...oh...oh...
There's no business,
Like showed business.
For people known in need.
But they pray one day they'll see it come.
That business for then done,
To come...
Eventually!
