When the pastor shook hands at the door,
He knew that he could count on Herman
For a detailed evaluation,
Always critical of his sermon.

The pastor knew that Brother Herman
Was certainly not his greatest fan.
So he was surprised when Herman said
It made him feel like a brand new man.

Pastor was pleased that others had heard
For Herman’s praises did not come cheap.
Then Herman said he always felt great
After he’d gotten a good hour’s sleep.
