As clergy approached
representatives
...in legislature environ,

To urge minimum wages
for toilers
on migrant farms,

Amazed clerk,
having seen nothing
like this before:

Why are you clergy
parading
on legislature floor?



We are lobbying for
minimum wages,
came the reply;

Shaking her head in
puzzlement,
she uttered a sigh.

Then after conversing
with a group of teachers,

She brightly exclaimed:
...You seek
minimum wages
for preachers!
