Magnificat |
|
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Saviour. |
The Carpentry / Haberdashers Dear God on High, Shortly before my Lad was made flesh, I heard thy message.

I could have done without the nightmarish frightener from thy handsome henchman Gabriel, himself knowing that I was pregnant at the time, and all. Oh, And it might have been refreshing had I been alerted regarding the post-birth hemorrhoids. Thine Faithful Nymph, P.S. Since the Holy Hero has entered this life, my husband has eschewed fatherhood and his other family duties. Hence, we've not had sex for fifteen months. Oh, Christ! It's hardly healthy! Is it a hormonal thing, Lord? |

into adulthood: Christ! Bugger that! Mary P.S. Don't let Him go too far. |

Transient How bluish-white the boyish face, How wraith-dead the wistful eyes, |
