18 ) The Fans of the Fishermen

(Inspired by St. George's Church, Deal)

Above the fishermen’s gallery

The air is thick with the sea

A lifetime spent with the fish

Hauling nets with humility.


The fans extract the fishy air

So cleaner will it be 

All sin removed and gone is shame

Upstairs in the Fishermen’s Gallery.
