Holier than thou

A modern day nursery rhyme of our times

Hey diddle diddle
the priest had a fiddle
the organist shielded her eyes
whilst choir boys feared
each foot step that neared
and the sound of unzipping flies.

Love the way you presented this as a nursery rhyme, it's quite apt, isn't it? Difficult subject matter, but kudos to you for saying it in this concise and hard hitting write.

[Gee]

Just something daft for the weekend ma'am :)
Thank you

If a bugger can turn wine into Jesus, we're all in trouble.

[Gee]

We are indeed.
Thank you

Darkly told, beautiful rhyme and flow. Truth can be such a tragic thing. Lovely read and write.

With love

So much truth in this modern day nursery rhyme. Sadly it doesn’t raise an eyebrow, but it did raise a knowing smile with me Gee. It happens. You have conveyed this so well and with sharp brevity. Have a great weekend. Hope you are all well.

Hi Christine, thanks for bothering with this daft one :)

[Chris Shaw]

You know, I like a bit of silly now and again. We all need to lighten up :)

[Lorry]

Don't worry Gee. Just say ten hail Mary's and five hello dollies and you will be absolved. Now go in peace my child! 😊

[Gee]

:)) thanks Lorry

I feel like I'm not supposed to laugh, but I did. There's so much sass in this poem, and rightfully so. Well done, and straight to the point. And as much as I try to stay away from "hot button" issues like the one stated within the poem, I can't help but give this two huge thumbs up for putting such an issue into a modern day nursery rhyme.

[Gee]

Just a daft wee write that came out of the blue.
Thanks for dropping in
