Quasimodo is
a man you may see
As one of few of
Christianity
That you ever find
Of legitimate kind –
For a genuine
bell-heaver was he!
All others who pinned their
salvation-type hopes
On clangours with clangers
attached to some ropes,
Remember them well,
For the swell of their knell
Confers better chances
than have saints or popes.
That brought on a chuckle! 😀

At least I didn’t drop a clanger!

I’d be a banger of a clanger or on the ropes, think I should keep my feet firmly on the ground.

I have no wish to thump my brains on the bell tower roof! Mind you, others might thing a bang on the head is just the thing I need.;) I’ll wait until after they scrape my eye!

Victor Hugo told
The tale of Quasimodo
For whom the bells tolled
(No, not the ring of Frodo)
Moral:
Salvation comes to those who knell
(I don’t mean tones on mobile phones
For which I blame A Graham Bell)

Your poem rings a bell: my first husband was a bellringer – it was just an excuse for a pub crawl after visiting some distant bell tower.

Seems like excellent motivation – a great way to become a swinger.
