It's a TRUE STORY...

CHURCH DILEMA (or 'Hells Bells') - By Dorothy Avent Oh dear! What can the matter be? We've heard of two ladies locked in a lavatory. They stayed there from Sunday to Saturday, No-body knew they were there.	A Ditty - Anonymous Hang on the bell Edie, hang in there Lil Our Brian's gone a bit white around the gills If you swing to the left and swing to the right Be sure that Brian will release you ere the night!!!
But two of our ladies were left in the lurch When, after a service, they were locked in the church, They hadn't a key, and could find no way out, - There was no-one to hear if they gave a great shout.
They hit on a plan, - that whatever befell They would give a loud peal on the ancient church-bell The Vicar would hear and realise their purpose And come to their rescue, - still dressed in his surplice.
The racket was heard in the Vicarage hall, - And Brian raced out to reach the West Door, He said, "It must be vandals, acting so silly, - Then he found Edie Mountford, and dear Mrs Lilley.
They'd soon get the 'hand of things' on the bellrope. And thought their 'Ding-Dong' an hilarious joke, Said Brian, - "I think you're amazing old swingers, - How did you know that we needed more ringers?"
