He sat up very late that night and when he went to bed and remembered how the Lad had promised to help rid Peter of the drink curse, he could not sleep until he had sung the long-meter doxology.

Did the minister give out the long-meter doxology, at once I began: "Doxology sockdology sockdolager meter meet her." The sermon ran through my mental sieve, its precepts filtering unheeded, could I but glean a suggestion of a pun or a bon mot.
I know of a woman who was much given to worrying. She made it a rule to sing the long-meter doxology whenever things seemed not right.

And by the time the fourth line came it was ringing out and her atmosphere had changed without and within. This was David's rule.

He ain't spoke to Pattie for a week 'cause she sang outen Sam Mosbey's hymn-book last Wednesday night at prayer meeting. He've got a long-meter doxology face for sure."
